24.5. Understanding Pressure Components

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is static pressure?

   Hint

   Think about how pressure is measured in a fluid column.

2. 2.

   Name one device that measures dynamic pressure.

   Hint

   Remember where you might see this device used.

3. 3.

   What is static pressure?

   • Pressure in motion
   • Pressure in rest
   • Sum of pressures

   Hint

   Think about how pressures are measured when fluid is not moving.

4. 4.

   True or False: Dynamic pressure is the pressure attributed to fluid motion.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how fluid velocity contributes to pressure.

5. 5.

   Calculate the dynamic pressure of water flowing at a speed of 3 m/s with a density of 1000 kg/m³.

   Hint

   Remember the formula for dynamic pressure!

6. 6.

   Given a system where static pressure is 100 kPa and dynamic pressure is 20 kPa, determine the stagnation pressure.

   Hint

   Simply add the two pressures together.
