Fluid Module 2 For Me

The document discusses manometers, which are devices used to measure fluid pressure. It contains two types: open manometers and differential manometers. Open manometers can measure gauge pressures and have one open leg exposed to atmospheric pressure. Differential manometers measure only pressure differences as they do not have an open leg. The document provides examples and steps to solve problems involving open manometers, including determining pressure and pressure head at different points using formulas that account for fluid properties.

Module 2: MANOMETER

MODULE DESCRIPTION:
Module 2 deals with the concepts and calculations of Fluid Pressures involving manometers.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After studying this module, you should be able to:
1. Discuss Manometer.
2. Compute Fluid pressures using problems involving manometers.

2.0 MANOMETER

MANOMETER is a tube, usually bent in the form of a U containing a liquid of known specific
gravity, the surface of which moves proportionally to changes of pressure.

TWO TYPES OF MANOMETER:

1. OPEN TYPE is a manometer with an atmospheric surface in one leg and capable of
measuring gage pressures as shown in fig. 2.01-a. (open in one leg)

2. DIFFERENTIAL TYPE is a manometer without an atmospheric surface and capable of


measuring only differences in pressures as shown in fig. 2.01-b.

2.1 OPEN MANOMETER

PIEZOMETER – is the simplest form of manometer. It is a tube tapped into the wall of a container
or conduit for the purpose of measuring the pressure.

piezometer P1
P1 P1

h
h - pressure
head h

fig 2.11-a fig 2.11-b fig 2.11-c

In fig 2.11-a the liquid surface inside the container is of the same level as the liquid surface at the piezometer when P1 = 0.
In fig 2.11-b the liquid surface at the piezometer is lower than the liquid surface inside the container when P1 < 0.
In fig 2.11-c the liquid surface at the piezometer is higher than the liquid surface inside the container when P1 > 0.

STEPS IN THE SOLUTION OF OPEN MANOMETER PROBLEMS:

1. Draw a sketch of the manometer approximately to scale.


2. Decide on the fluid in feet (or meters) of which the heads are to be expressed.
3. Starting with the atmospheric surface in the manometer as the point of known pressure head,
number in order the levels of contact of fluids of different specific gravities as shown in fig.
2.01-a.
4. Starting with atmospheric pressure head, proceed from level to level. Adding or subtracting
pressure heads as the elevation decreases or increases respectively, with due regard for the
specific gravities of the fluids.

2. Starting with the unknown pressure head (P/∂) at one of the end points, write a continued
algebraic summation of heads, progressing from point to point, and equating the continued
