3. Definition of Pressure Pressure is defined as the amount of force exerted on a unit area of a substance:

4. Direction of fluid pressure on boundaries Furnace ductPipe or tube Heat exchanger Dam Pressure is a Normal Force (acts perpendicular to surfaces) It is also called a Surface Force

5. Absolute and Gauge Pressure Absolute pressure: The pressure of a fluid is expressed relative to that of vacuum (=0) Gauge pressure: Pressure expressed as the difference between the pressure of the fluid and that of the surrounding atmosphere.  Usual pressure guages record guage pressure. To calculate absolute pressure:

7. Pressure distribution for a fluid at rest Let’s determine the pressure distribution in a fluid at rest in which the only body force acting is due to gravity  The sum of the forces acting on the fluid must equal zero

8. x y z Let P z and P z+  z denote the pressures at the base and top of the cube, where the elevations are z and z+  z respectively. What are the z-direction forces?

9. Pressure distribution for a fluid at rest A force balance in the z direction gives: For an infinitesimal element (  z  0)

10. Incompressible fluid Liquids are incompressible i.e. their density is assumed to be constant: By using gauge pressures we can simply write: P o is the pressure at the free surface (P o =P atm ) When we have a liquid with a free surface the pressure P at any depth below the free surface is:

26. Buoyancy A body immersed in a fluid experiences a vertical buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces A floating body displaces its own weight in the fluid in which it floats Free liquid surface The upper surface of the body is subjected to a smaller force than the lower surface  A net force is acting upwards F1F1 F2F2 h1h1 h2h2 H

27. Buoyancy The net force due to pressure in the vertical direction is: F B = F 2 - F 1 = (P bottom - P top ) (  x  y) The pressure difference is: P bottom – P top =  g (h 2 -h 1 ) =  g H Combining: F B =  g H (  x  y) Thus the buoyant force is: F B =  g V

31. Compressible fluid Gases are compressible i.e. their density varies with temperature and pressure  = P M /RT –For small elevation changes (as in engineering applications, tanks, pipes etc) we can neglect the effect of elevation on pressure –In the general case start from:
