What does a Pitot tube measure?
Think about pressure differences.
If a Pitot tube measures a stagnation pressure of 150 kPa and a static pressure of 100 kPa, calculate the pressure difference.
Subtract static pressure from stagnation pressure.
What is measured by the Pitot tube?
Think about what happens in aviation.
True or False: The stagnation pressure is the pressure at the point of zero fluid velocity.
Consider what stagnation means.
A Pitot tube reads a stagnation pressure of 200 kPa and a static pressure of 150 kPa, with the fluid density at 1.3 kg/m³. Calculate the fluid velocity and explain the steps.
Convert kPa to Pa for calculations.
