A landscaper need to reduce the size of a horizontal irrigation pipe from a 1.65cm2pipe to an1.50cm2 pipe to properly fit it to a sprinkler head. The original pipe has a gauge pressure of 350.00kPaand a flow rate of 0.90 L/s . Should the velocity increase or decrease after the pipe reduction? a. Velocity should decrease b. Velocity should increase c.Velocity should stay the same Should the pressure increase or decrease after the pipe reduction? a. Pressure should increase b. Pressure should stay the same c. Pressure should decrease
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
