Question 27

What are the 6 pressure principles

Answer 27

1. Pressure is perpendicular to any surface on which it acts 2.Pressure of a fluid at rest is the same intensity in all directions 3.Pressure applied from outside a vessel containing fluid is the same in all directions. 4.Downward pressure of fluid in open vessel is proportional to its depth 5. Downward pressure of fluid in an open vessel is proportional to the density of fluid. 6.Downward pressure of a fluid at the bottom of a vessel is independent of the shape of the vessel.

Question 28

Friction Loss Laws DRISL

Answer 28

1.Friction loss increases directly with the length of hose 2.Friction loss increases indirectly with the decrease in diameter. 3.Friction loss increases directly as the square of the flow rate. 4.Friction loss increases with the roughness of the interior of the hose. 5.Friction loss for all practical purposes is independent of pressure.
