The acceleration of a fluid particle through a nozzle is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics, playing a crucial role in various engineering applications, including jet engines, water jets, and industrial fluid transport systems. The acceleration occurs due to the changes in velocity as the fluid moves through a varying cross-sectional area, governed by principles […]

When a liquid in a container is subjected to rotation, its free surface deforms due to centrifugal forces. This phenomenon is commonly observed in rotating tanks, centrifuges, and even in a spinning glass of water. Key Observations: The liquid level rises at the edges of the container and lowers at the center. The maximum rise

When a water tank undergoes acceleration, the water inside experiences an apparent force in the opposite direction of the acceleration. This causes the water surface to tilt, with the water level rising on the side opposite to the direction of acceleration and lowering on the side in the direction of acceleration. If the acceleration is

The apparent weight loss of an object in seawater is governed by Archimedes’ Principle, which states that the upward buoyant force exerted on an object submerged in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Weight of the concrete can be found by force formula, i.e., Weight of the

A multifluid manometer is a device used for measuring the pressure of a fluid (typically a gas or liquid) by using more than one fluid to help create a readable scale. These devices often involve the use of liquids of different densities, which makes them useful in measuring a wide range of pressures, including very

A manometer is commonly used to measure small and moderate pressure differences. A manometer consists of a glass or plastic U-tube containing one or more fluids such as mercury, water, alcohol, or oil. To find the Absolute pressure: For further Queries :

When pressure is exerted by a fluid, such as in a liquid column e.g., water or mercury in a barometer), the pressure at a depth is given by the formula: Density acceleration due to gravity height For further queries :

A barometer is an instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure, which is the force exerted by the weight of the air above us. The pressure is usually expressed in units like millimeters of mercury (mmHg), pascals (Pa), or inches of mercury (inHg). There are two main types of barometers: mercury barometers and aneroid barometers. The

The absolute pressure of a vacuum chamber refers to the total pressure inside the chamber, including both the pressure exerted by the air (or gas) inside the chamber and the atmospheric pressure outside it. Absolute pressure is measured relative to a perfect vacuum, meaning it includes the atmospheric pressure as part of the reading. In
