The piping system shown in the figure (which does not show details of all the fittings) is used to connect a large reservoir to a pump where it is then pumped to a small wilderness hostel. The pipe is 2-in. I.D. cast iron and must deliver Q- 79 gal/min of 60 "F water. The 300-ft long pipeline contains four swing check valves and five 90" standard elbows. All connections are threaded. Find the head loss between points 1 and 2. Reservoir Well-rounded entrance Pump system ft
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.
