Fluid Statics Flashcards
1
Q
When a particle is fully submerged and static, what is the pressure acting on all sides?
A
Equal as if they were not, then the particle wouldn’t be static
2
Q
What is the ISA?
A
The ISA is an accepted representative of the atmospheric conditions for the purpose of altimeter calibration and aircraft design calculations
3
Q
What are the standard values of pressure and temperature at sea level?
A
Pressure = 101325Pa
Temperature = 288.15K
4
Q
What is the vertical T variation L?
A
L = 6.5 K/km up to 11km
5
Q
What is the pressure difference between two points with different heights within a fluid?
A
P1-P2 = Density * g * (z1-z2)
