Flashcards

What is pressure?

The force acting perpendicular to a surface per unit area.

What is hydrostatic pressure?

The pressure exerted by a fluid at rest due to the weight of the fluid above a given point.

How to calculate absolute pressure?

Atmospheric pressure (100 kPa) + gauge pressure (75 kPa vacuum) equals absolute pressure (25kPa).

What is surface tension?

Force per unit length acting at the surface of a liquid, tending to minimize the surface area.
