Examples of Gauge Pressure in the following topics:
-
- Pressure is often measured as gauge pressure, which is defined as the absolute pressure minus the atmospheric pressure.
- Most pressure measuring equipment give the pressure of a system in terms of gauge pressure as opposed to absolute pressure.
- To find the absolute pressure of a system, the atmospheric pressure must then be added to the gauge pressure.
- While gauge pressure is very useful in practical pressure measurements, most calculations involving pressure, such as the ideal gas law, require pressure values in terms of absolute pressures and thus require gauge pressures to be converted to absolute pressures.
- Explain the relationship among absolute pressure, gauge pressure, and atmospheric pressure
-
- Barometers are devices used for measuring atmospheric and gauge pressure indirectly through the use of hydrostatic fluids.
- In practice, pressure is most often measured in terms of gauge pressure.
- Gauge pressure is the pressure of a system above atmospheric pressure.
- Gauge pressure is much more convenient than absolute pressure for practical measurements and is widely used as an established measure of pressure.
- Many modern pressure measuring devices are pre-engineered to output gauge pressure measurements.

- (Air pressure at 0C is 1.29 kg/m3)1.
- The pressure variation, amplitude, is proportional to the intensity, So it is safe to say that the larger your sound wave oscillation, the more intense your sound will be.
- Graphs of the gauge pressures in two sound waves of different intensities.
- The more intense sound is produced by a source that has larger-amplitude oscillations and has greater pressure maxima and minima.
- Because pressures are higher in the greater-intensity sound, it can exert larger forces on the objects it encounters

- The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average pressure over a cardiac cycle and is determined by , where CO is the cardiac outputs, SVR is the systemic vascular resistance, and CVP is the central venous pressure (CVP).
- In practice, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) can be approximated from easily obtainable blood pressure measurements in , where Psys is the measured systolic pressure and Pdias is the measured diastolic pressure.
- The reduction in pressure of the thoracic cavity, which normally has a negative gauge pressure, thus keeping the lungs inflated, pulls air into the lungs, inflating the alveoli and resulting in oxygen transport needed for respiration.
- The mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average pressure over a cardiac cycle and is determined this equation, where CO is the cardiac outputs, SVR is the systemic vascular resistance, and CVP is the central venous pressure (CVP).
- In practice, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) can be approximated from easily obtainable blood pressure measurements.

- This is the Lorenz gauge (which happens to be Lorentz invariant).
-
- Pressure is defined in simplest terms as force per unit area.
- However, when dealing with pressures exerted by gases and liquids, it is most convenient to approach pressure as a measure of energy per unit volume by means of the definition of work (W = F·d).
- For liquids and gases at rest, the pressure of the liquid or gas at any point within the medium is called the hydrostatic pressure.
- As a result, pressure within a liquid is therefore a function of depth only, with the pressure increasing at a linear rate with respect to increasing depth.
- Equation 2 by itself gives the pressure exerted by a liquid relative to atmospheric pressure, yet if the absolute pressure is desired, the atmospheric pressure must then be added to the pressure exerted by the liquid alone.
-
- Pressure can be expressed in a number of units depending on the context of use .
- The elementary mathematical expression for pressure is given by:
- Just as a solid exerts a pressure on a surface upon which it is in contact, liquids and gases likewise exert pressures on surfaces and objects upon which they are in contact with.
- Another common type of pressure is that exerted by a static liquid or hydrostatic pressure.
- We will further discuss hydrostatic pressure in other sections.
-
- An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure.
- Since the pressure is constant, the force exerted is constant and the work done is given as PΔV.
- An example would be to have a movable piston in a cylinder, so that the pressure inside the cylinder is always at atmospheric pressure, although it is isolated from the atmosphere.
- If a gas is to expand at a constant pressure, heat should be transferred into the system at a certain rate.
- Since pressure is constant, the work done is PΔV.
-
- Pascal's Principle states that pressure is transmitted and undiminished in a closed static fluid.
- Qualitatively, Pascal's Principle states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in an enclosed static liquid.
- As, by Pascal's Law, a change in pressure is linearly proportional to a change in height within an incompressible, static liquid of constant density, doubling the height between the two points of reference will double the change of pressure, while halving the height between the two points will half the change in pressure.
- As a result of Pascal's Law, the pressure change (pressure applied to the static liquid) is transmitted undiminished in the static liquid so that the applied pressure is 2 N/m2 at the bottom of the bottle as well.
- Furthermore, the hydrostatic pressure due to the difference in height of the liquid is given by Equation 1 and yields the total pressure at the bottom surface of the bottle.
-
- The kinetic energy of the fluid is stored in static pressure, $p_s$, and dynamic pressure, $\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2$, where \rho is the fluid density in (SI unit: kg/m3) and V is the fluid velocity (SI unit: m/s).
- The SI unit of static pressure and dynamic pressure is the pascal.
- Static pressure is simply the pressure at a given point in the fluid, dynamic pressure is the kinetic energy per unit volume of a fluid particle.
- Thus, a fluid will not have dynamic pressure unless it is moving.
- A streamline can be drawn from the top of the reservoir, where the total energy is known, to the exit point where the static pressure and potential energy are known but the dynamic pressure (flow velocity out) is not.
