Absolute and Gage Pressure
Absolute Pressure: the pressure measured referred to
absolute zero and using absolute zero as the base.
Gage Pressure: the pressure measured referred to
atmospheric pressure, and using atmospheric
pressure as the base
Atmospheric PressureAtmospheric Pressure
• Atmospheric pressure is normally about
100,000 Pa
• Differences in atmospheric pressure
cause winds to blow
• Low atmospheric pressure inside a
hurricane’s eye contributes to the
severe winds and the development of
the storm surge

MANOMETERS
Manometer is an instrument used in measuring gage pressure in length of some liquid
column.
Open Type Manometer : It has an atmospheric surface and is capable in measuring
gage pressure.
 Differential Type Manometer : It has no atmospheric surface and is capable in
measuring differences of pressure.
Pressure Head:

p - pressure in KPa
γ - specific weight of a fluid, KN/m3

In steady flow the velocity of the fluid particles at any point is constant as time
passes.
Unsteady flow exists whenever the velocity of the fluid particles at a point
changes as time passes.
Turbulent flow is an extreme kind of unsteady flow in which the velocity of the fluid
particles at a point change erratically in both magnitude and direction.
Types of flowing fluidsTypes of flowing fluids
More types of fluid flowMore types of fluid flow
• Fluid flow can be compressible or incompressible.
• Most liquids are nearly incompressible.
• Fluid flow can be viscous or nonviscous.
• An incompressible, nonviscous fluid is called an ideal fluid.
When the flow is steady, streamlines are often used to represent
the trajectories of the fluid particles.
