Study Notes

Key Facts about Fluid Mechanics and Pressure Measurement

  • Static pressure exerted by a fluid flowing parallel to a wall in a pipeline can be measured using a specific device.
  • A certain type of pump is recommended for discharging a liquid against a pressure of 1500 kgf/cm2 or higher.
  • A bed made of small glass spheres with a density of 2500 kg/m3 is to be fluidized by water with a density of 1000 kg/m3.
  • At the point of incipient fluidization, the bed has a voidage (percentage of empty space) of 40%.
  • The pressure drop across the bed during fluidization is 10 units (unspecified unit of measurement).
  • A 2" gate valve in a pipe is replaced with a similar globe valve.
  • The pressure drop across the gate valve before replacement is denoted as Δp (unspecified value).
  • The pressure drop across the globe valve, for the same discharge, is different from the pressure drop across the gate valve.
