Pressure on surfaces immersed in fluid

1. Total pressure on horizontal surface immersed in fluid- let, A is the area of the surface X̄ = Distance between horizontal surface to the fluid surface. p = Pressure intensity w = Spec…

Pressure Head & Numerical

Defination - Pressure  head (h) is defined as the height of a column of liquid of specific weight (w) required to give a pressure difference of p. Pressure head is a linear quantity and i…

Pascal's Law

Statement - Pascal's law states that if the fluid is at rest, the intensity of pressure at a point will be same in all directions. Proof -   Consider a small wedge shaped element in …

Capillarity

Capillarity is defined as the phenomenon of rise or fall of a liquid in a thin tube ( capillary tube) relative to the adjacent general level of liquid. It is a surface tension effect and d…
