What is the main function of a Pitot tube?
Think about where you've seen it used.
What causes stagnation pressure?
Recall the flow concepts.
What primary principle does a Pitot tube rely on?
Consider which principle relates speed and pressure.
True or False: The flow measured by a Pitot tube can be turbulent without any effect on the readings.
Reflect on how flow types affect measurements.
A small boat has a Pitot tube measuring a static pressure of 80 Pa and a stagnation pressure of 150 Pa. The water density is 1000 kg/m³. Calculate the boat's speed in the water.
Use the density of water for your calculation.
In a hydraulic system, a Pitot tube measures a pressure difference of 300 Pa, where the liquid density is 850 kg/m³. Determine the velocity of the liquid flow.
Make sure to account for the density in your calculations.
