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 […]

Capillary rise refers to the phenomenon in which a liquid rises or falls in a narrow tube due to surface tension.  This occurs because of the adhesive forces between the liquid and the surface of the tube, as well as the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules themselves. When the liquid’s adhesive forces to the

Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow or deformation. It quantifies the internal friction within the fluid as its molecules move past one another. A higher viscosity indicates a thicker fluid that resists flow more, while a lower viscosity indicates a thinner fluid that flows more easily. Where: L = Length of

An important parameter in the study of compressible flow is the speed of sound (or the sonic speed), defined as the speed at which an infinitesimally small pressure wave travels through a medium. Speed of sound is given by the formula : Where: c –  Speed of sound in m/s k – specific heat ratio(1.4)

Density: Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance. It indicates how much matter is packed into a given space. P – Pressure in kPa R – Gas constant of air ( 0.287 kPa·m^3/kg·K) T – Temperature in Kelvin(K) Specific Gravity: Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of

Volume flow rate is to be determined from measurements of volume and time period. Volume flow rate is used to describe the flow of fluids (gases and liquids) in pipes, ducts, and vessels. It’s essential in designing and optimizing systems, such as: Water supply networks HVAC systems Chemical processing plants Oil and gas pipeline The

We apply Newton’s second law to calculate the weight (force) that corresponds to the known mass and acceleration. The weight of any object is equal to its mass times the local value of gravitational acceleration. For further queries:  

Mass of a substance can be calculated with a simple arithmetic operation. The relation between mass, density and volume can be put to use for the same. Density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume. Note: Density: Kg/m^3 Mass : Kg Volume : m^3 For further queries:

Wind turbines can be a great addition to a sustainable lifestyle. Although installation is expensive, they reduce the overall electricity bill. Wind mills are installed in windy areas like coasts, so that they engage and rotate the wings of the wind turbine. This rotating mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy, which is used in
