Total Force = (pressure)(area) TF = pA The Spygmomanometer measures blood pressure in millimeters of mercury. A larger surface area on the outer edge of the tube gives a greater total force. Hint: Pressure = (depth)(density) Total force = (average pressure)(area) Solution to the above problems: Pascal's Law applied to the water rocket Video: The pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions! The fluid pressure from the master cylinder is transferred equally to all the brake shoes. An Uplifting Experience.

Total Force = Pressure X Area. Home made Vacuum Venturi - Topic. Hi Folks jamesrl kindly send me 4 of his venturis to try so I thought I'd let you know how I got on with them. I have only tested water flow rate on the inlets so far, on a 4 foot lift. My next experiment, which I'll carry out over the weekend, will be to compare vapour flow rates. Fluid flow rate is important if you are using the venturi for methanol injection and mixing. Vapour flow rate is important if you are using the venturi to circulate vapours thru the condenser during methanol distilling. All venturis had 22mm diameter copper feed and exhaust, with 8mm or 10mm inlet ports. The three venturis have different internal dimensions, and this is how I found them to compare...

All 3 performed well. James, can you describe the internal differences for us? Here is the triple feed venturi on my test rig. I believe James has a pump with almost double my flow rate, and if you double flow rate, you should get 4 times the suction. Here is the triple inlet venturi on the test rig... Cocktail Party Physics: nothing venturi'd, nothing gained. Entropy is a harsh mistress. Three years ago, when I moved to Los Angeles, I bought the first car I'd owned in 20 years: a brand new 2007 shiny red Prius. It was all downhill from there, starting with the first little ding, a scrap on the bumper, a new back fender thanks to some jerk who sideswiped the Prius in a parking lot, knocking loose the bumper, and then didn't bother leaving a note, and so forth.

Sure, I bring it in for regularly scheduled tuneups, but hey -- things fall apart. Entropy happens, and I'm okay with that. Take last week, when I went to fill the car up with gas, and for some reason, the pump didn't shut off automatically when the tank was full, as pumps are supposed to do. Then he pointed out that I seemed to be missing the little metal doohickey that usually covers the tube leading to the gas tank -- you know, the thin piece of metal that you see whenever you unscrew the gas cap to insert the pump handle.

As for the Venturi effect, it's well nigh everywhere. Measurement of fluid flow parameters. Venturi tube. From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium (PD) Drawing: Milton BeychokDrawing of a classical Venturi tube per ASME Standard MFC-3M-1989.[1] The gain in kinetic energy resulting from the increased linear velocity in the throat is offset (i.e., balanced) by the decrease of pressure in the throat. The reduction in pressure which occurs when the fluid flows through the throat is called the Venturi effect and is named after the Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1746 - 1822) who first observed the effect. Thus, referring to the adjacent drawing, the pressure p2 and the cross-sectional area A2 in the throat are smaller than the pressure p1 and the cross-sectional area A1 in the cylindrical inlet section.

The linear velocity v2 in the throat is higher than the linear velocity v1 in the inlet section. A venturi tube may also consist of non-cylindrical ducting rather than piping. Measuring fluid flow rate with a venturi Incompressible fluid or to: then: which can be re-arranged to: where:
