Dimensionless Numbers and Their Importance in Fluid Mechanics
In fluid mechanics, Dimensionless numbers or non-dimensional numbers are those which are useful to determine the flow characteristics of a fluid. Inertia force always exists if there is any mass in motion. Dividing this inertia force with other forces like ...
Determination of Pressure by Simple Manometers in Fluid Mechanics
Manometers are devices used to determine the pressure at any point in fluid either by balancing the same fluid column or by using another fluid column. A simple manometer consists of a tubular arrangement where one end of the tube ...
What is Pressure Head in Fluid Mechanics?
Pressure head in fluid mechanics is the pressure exerted by a liquid column on the base of the container. It is represented as the height of the liquid column. Pressure head is also called static head or static pressure head ...
Different Pressures in Fluid Mechanics
The pressure on a fluid can be measured depending on two systems where one system measures pressure above the absolute zero pressure scale and the other measures below the absolute zero pressure scale. Hence there are different pressure terminologies in ...
