Analysis of Piezometers and Manometers for Pressure Measurement

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 2 Fluid Statics, Part 2: This video covers the measurement of pressure using piezometers, U-tube manometers and inclined manometers. Solved sample problems are included in this presentation.

Fluid Statics , found it perfect ! thanks again

[@alfonsosalas157]

I love your videos Dr Naylor. This is really helping me understand the content in my course, thank you!!

[@FluidMatters]

Glad they are helpful. Thanks for the kind words.

[@luckyPiston]

Tks, this is pretty clear and concise, i would really like to watch chapter 2 and 3 mentioned at 18:20 that continue this discussion can u pls provide those video links , u have 137 videos and im not even which ones im looking for, tks eh.

Sir at 15:15 you jumped across. How did you do that considering they are 2 different fluids?

[@FluidMatters]

When you jump across from point 1, you remain in the same (pink) fluid at both locations. Think of it this way: If you when down from point 1 instead (into the u-bend of the manometer) the pressure would increase. When you came back up to the same horizontal location in the inclined tube, the pressure would decrease by exactly the same amount. So, you can avoid going down and up, and simply jump across.

Thanks for this lecture Dr Neylor
i have a question though at 11:42 is the height difference not supposed to be (Z3 - Z2) or it doesnt matter

[@FluidMatters]

Note that z is measured upward, i.e. Z2>Z3. You need that term to be positive, since you are moving downward into zone of higher pressure. So it must be Z2-Z3 to get a positive number. You might find it easier to work in terms of DeltaZ, where DeltaZ is always a positive value.

Hello Pr have you a book for a fluid mechanics.

[@FluidMatters]

In my course we use the book Fluid Mechanics by Frank White. Is that what you are asking?

[@ammarlaichi8474]

@@FluidMatters yes, thank you Pr.

I was confused how do u get r^2L^2 sino

[@FluidMatters]

I've taken the vertical component of the inclined length, l_2. From basic trigonometry, l_2*sin(theta) is the change in height. So the change in pressure is gamma_2*l_2*sin(theta) is the change in pressure. I hope that helps.
