19 Facts About Fluid pressure

1.

The symbol for it is "p" or P The IUPAC recommendation for pressure is a lower-case p However, upper-case P is widely used.

2.

The Fluid pressure is the scalar proportionality constant that relates the two normal vectors:.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,200
3.

SI unit for Fluid pressure is the pascal, equal to one newton per square metre .

FactSnippet No. 1,190,201
4.

Since a system under Fluid pressure has the potential to perform work on its surroundings, Fluid pressure is a measure of potential energy stored per unit volume.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,202
5.

The Fluid pressure exerted by a column of liquid of height h and density ? is given by the hydrostatic Fluid pressure equation, where g is the gravitational acceleration.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,203
6.

Differential Fluid pressure is expressed in units with "d" appended; this type of measurement is useful when considering sealing performance or whether a valve will open or close.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,204
7.

Gauge pressure is the relevant measure of pressure wherever one is interested in the stress on storage vessels and the plumbing components of fluidics systems.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,205
8.

Therefore, Fluid pressure is a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,206
9.

Fluid pressure is most often the compressive stress at some point within a fluid.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,207
10.

The pressure in closed conditions conforms with the principles of fluid dynamics.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,208
11.

Concepts of fluid pressure are predominantly attributed to the discoveries of Blaise Pascal and Daniel Bernoulli.

12.

Stagnation pressure is the pressure a fluid exerts when it is forced to stop moving.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,210
13.

Vapour Fluid pressure is the Fluid pressure of a vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases in a closed system.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,211
14.

The Fluid pressure felt is due to the weight of the water above the person.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,212
15.

Or, if the liquid is two or three times as dense, the liquid Fluid pressure is correspondingly two or three times as great for any given depth.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,213
16.

Atmospheric Fluid pressure pressing on the surface of a liquid must be taken into account when trying to discover the total Fluid pressure acting on a liquid.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,214
17.

The average water Fluid pressure acting against a dam depends on the average depth of the water and not on the volume of water held back.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,215
18.

All vases are filled to equal depths, so the water Fluid pressure is the same at the bottom of each vase, regardless of its shape or volume.

FactSnippet No. 1,190,216
19.

Kinematic Fluid pressure is used in the same manner as kinematic viscosity in order to compute the Navier–Stokes equation without explicitly showing the density.
