2. INTRODUCTION
So, Before Starting The Chapter Clear Some Doubts….
 This Chapter Deals With Forces Applied By
Fluid at Rest. When A Certain Mass of Fluid is held in
static Equilibrium by confining Within Solid Boundaries, it
exerts forces Against Boundary surfaces.
 The Forces Exerted always in The Direction
normal to The Surface in The Contact. This is So
because a fluid at Rest Cannot Sustain Shear Stress. No
Shear Force is Present as Fluid Particles do not Move
With Respect To One Another.

3. First Of All…
 What is Pressure ??
 Pressure is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area.
 Pressure is the force per unit area, where the force is perpendicular to
the area.
 Units of pressure are N/m2, which is called a Pascal (Pa).
 Since the unit of Pa is too small..! For pressures Encountered in
practice kilopascal (1 KPa = 103 Pa) and megapascal (1 MPa = 106
Pa) are commonly used.

5. Fluid exerts forces in many directions. Try to
submerse a rubber ball in water to see that an
upward force acts on the ball.
Fluids exert pressure in all
directions.

6.  Properties of Fluid Pressure
Water seeks its own level, indicating that
fluid pressure is independent of area and
shape of its container.
At any depth h below the surface of the
water in any column, the pressure P is the
same. The shape and area are not
factors.
 The forces exerted by a fluid on the walls of its container are
always perpendicular.
 The fluid pressure is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid
and to its density.
 At any particular depth, the fluid pressure is the same in all
directions.
 Fluid pressure is independent of the shape or area of its container.

7.  What is Pressure Head ???
In a Static Liquid, Vertical Distance From Datum Line to the Free
Surface of Liquid is Known as Pressure Head.
In fluid mechanics, pressure head is the internal energy of a fluid due to
the pressure exerted on its container. It may also be called static pressure
head or simply static head (but not static head pressure).

8.  What is Pressure at a Point ?
Pressure at any point in a fluid is the same in all
directions.
Pressure has a magnitude, but not a specific direction,
and thus it is a scalar quantity.

Pascal’s Law: “An external pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is
transmitted uniformly throughout the volume of the liquid.” Or
“The Intensity of Pressure at any Point in a Fluid at Rest, is Same in
All Directions”

11. 1. Absolute Pressure
2. Gage Pressure
3. Vacuum Pressure
Types Of Pressure
Absolute
Pressure
Absolute Pressure: The sum of the
pressure due to a fluid and the
pressure due to atmosphere.
Gauge Pressure: The difference
between the absolute pressure and the
pressure due to the atmosphere:
Absolute Pressure = Gauge Pressure + 1 atm

P = 196 kPa
1 atm = 101.3 kPa

Mercury
P = 0
One way to measure atmospheric
pressure is to fill a test tube with
mercury, then invert it into a bowl of
mercury.
Pressure below atmospheric pressure
are called vacuum pressure, Pvac=Patm
- Pabs.
Density of Hg = 13,600 kg/m3
Patm = gh
h = 0.760 m
Patm = (13,600 kg/m3)(9.8 m/s2)(0.760 m) Patm = 101,300 Pa
Gage Pressure
Most pressure-measuring devices are calibrated to read
zero in the atmosphere, and therefore indicate gage
pressure, Pgage=Pabs - Patm.

14. Pressure Measurement
 Pressure is an important variable in fluid
mechanics and many instruments have been
devised for its measurement.
 Many devices are based on hydrostatics such
as barometers and manometers, i.e.,
determine pressure through measurement of a
column (or columns) of a liquid using the
pressure variation with elevation equation for
an incompressible fluid

15. Manometers are used for measuring pressures by balancing the fluid column of fluid
against another column of fluid of known specific gravity. Manometers can be classified
as:
Simple manometers :
It consists of a glass tube with one end open to the atmosphere and other end connected to a point at which
pressure is to be measured.
a. Piezometer
It consists of glass tube connected to a vessel or pipe at which static pressure is to be measured. It is the simplest
of all the manometers (Fig. 5.1). It is used to measure very low pressures.
The pressure in piezometer is given by the following equation.
Where,
= density of liquid
h = height of liquid in the piezometer from the centre of the pipe.
g = acceleration due to gravity
Fig. Piezometer
b.U-tube manometer
The manometer is named so because
it consists of a glass tube having the
shape of alphabet ‘U’. One end is open
to the atmosphere and other end
connected to a point at which pressure
is to be measured.

16. Column Manometer
One of the limbs in double column manometer is
converted into a reservoir having large cross sectional
area (about 100 times) with respect to the other
limb.
Fig. shows a vertical single column manometer.
Initially, the both limbs of the manometer are exposed to
atmospheric pressure. When the left limb with reservoir
is connected to container, the liquid pressure of it
pushes down the level A1 B1 to A2 B2causing !l h
downward movement of liquid in the reservoir.
For any variation in pressure, the change
in the liquid level in the reservoir will be
very small, which may be neglected and
hence pressure is given by the height of
liquid in the other limb.
