The 3.0 cm-diameter water line in the figure splits into two 1.0 cm-diameter pipes. All pipes are circular and at the same elevation. At point A, the water speed is 2.0 m/s and the gauge pressure is 50 kPa.
What is the gauge pressure at point B?

Respuesta :

At point B, the gauge pressure is 22 kPa.

Calculation:

Given gauge pressure is 50 kPa.

Diameter is 3.0cm

speed is 2.0m/s

the gauge pressure is 22 kPa.

How can you figure out a point's gauge pressure?

Pg denotes gauge pressure, which is related to absolute pressure as follows: Pa is the local atmospheric pressure, and pg is equal to p - pa. Example: 32.0 psi is the tire pressure as measured by an automobile tire gauge. 14.2 psi is the atmospheric pressure in the area.

What is a point's gauge pressure?

In order to calculate gauge pressure, atmospheric (ambient) pressure is subtracted from absolute pressure. A scenario where the absolute pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure is referred to as positive overpressure, and a situation where the absolute pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure is referred to as negative overpressure.
