    This document summarizes key concepts about fluid pressure and fluid statics from a fluid mechanics course. It defines pressure, absolute and gauge pressure, and how pressure varies with depth and increases proportionally with the weight of fluid above. It also explains how barometers and manometers can be used to measure pressure differences by using fluid columns and references Pascal's law about pressure transmission in fluids.

    Pressure of Fluids
    𝐹𝐹
    • Pressure is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area 𝑃𝑃 = ; Pa = N/m2
    𝐴𝐴
    • Absolute Pressure is the actual pressure at a given position
    • Gage Pressure is the difference between absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure
    • Vacuum Pressure is the pressure below atmospheric pressure

    𝑃𝑃𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔𝑔 = 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 − 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎


    𝑃𝑃𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣𝑣 = 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 − 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎

    Pressure of Fluids

    ME130-2: M1-W3
    Variation of Pressure with Depth
    • Pressure in a fluid increases with depth because more fluid rests on deeper layers, and the
    effect of this extra weight on a deeper layer is balanced by an increase in pressure

    𝑃𝑃 = 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 + 𝜌𝜌𝑔𝑔ℎ
    • The pressure at the bottom of a container with multiple fluids at rest can be solved by adding
    up all the pressure at every point on the specific fluid
    𝑃𝑃1 = 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 + 𝜌𝜌1 𝑔𝑔ℎ1 + 𝜌𝜌2 𝑔𝑔ℎ2 + 𝜌𝜌3 𝑔𝑔ℎ3

    ME130-2: M1-W3
    Variation of Pressure with Depth
    • Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at sufficient
    height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body. The
    higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid will be. (a) If it is observed that
    the fluid and the blood pressures balance each other when the bottle is 1.2 m above the arm
    level, determine the gage pressure of the blood. (b) If the gage pressure of the fluid at the arm
    level needs to be 20 kPa for sufficient flow rate, determine how high the bottle must be
    placed. Take the density of the fluid to be 1020 kg/m3.

    Pascal’s Law
    • The pressure applied to a confined fluid increases the pressure throughout by the same
    amount

    𝑃𝑃1 = 𝑃𝑃2

    Barometers
    • Barometer is a device used to measure atmospheric pressure
    • Usually, it is the pressure produced by a column of mercury 760mm in height at 0ׄ°C under standard
    gravitational acceleration of 9.807m/s2
    𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝜌𝜌𝑔𝑔ℎ

    • Example: Determine the atmospheric pressure at a location where the barometric reading is
    740mmHg and the gravitational acceleration is g=9.805m/s2. Assume the temperature of
    mercury to be 10°C, at which density is 13,570 kg/m3

    Manometer
    • A device that uses a fluid column to measure pressure differences
    𝑃𝑃2 = 𝑃𝑃𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 + 𝜌𝜌𝑔𝑔ℎ
    • Example: A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a gas in a tank. The fluid used has
    a specific gravity of 0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as shown in the figure.
    If the local atmospheric pressure is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the tank.
