What is static pressure?
Think of pressure in a bottle of water.
Define dynamic pressure.
Consider the effect of wind on your face while running.
What does dynamic pressure represent in fluid mechanics?
Think about what happens to a ball when it rolls.
Which equation includes both static and dynamic pressure?
Recall how Bernoulli relates to energy conservation in fluids.
A fluid with a density of 1200 kg/m³ flows at a speed of 5 m/s through a venturi meter. Calculate the dynamic pressure and stagnation pressure when the static pressure is measured at 200 kPa.
Use the equations: dynamic pressure = 0.5 * ρ * V² and total pressure = static + dynamic.
Design a simple experiment using an orifice meter to measure fluid through a pipe. Describe the expected outcomes and the role of dynamic pressure.
Think about how to account for energy losses and use empirical data.
