pressure has units of a force per unit area—the same as a stress. The value of the pressure at a point is independent of the orientation of any area associated with it, as can be deduced with reference to a differentially small
Analysis The pressure relative to the atmospheric pressure is called the gage pressure, and the pressure relative to an absolute vacuum is called absolute pressure. Discussion Most pressure gages (like your bicycle tire gage) read relative to atmospheric pressure, and therefore read the gage pressure. 3-2C
Introduction to Pressure in Fluid Mechanics. Pressure always acts inward normal to any surface (even imaginary surfaces as in a control volume). Pressure is a normal stress, and hence has dimensions of force per unit area, or {ML-1T-2}. In the English system of units, pressure is expressed as "psi" or lbf/in2.
Atmospheric pressure at a point is the force per unit area exerted on a small surface containing that point by the weight of air above that surface. In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point.
Pressure is basically a mechanical concept that can be fully described in terms of the primary dimensions of mass, length, and time. It is a familiar fact that pressure is
Basic Pressure Concepts and De nitions 1.1 Introduction Geopressure is the pressure beneath the surface of the earth. It is also known as the formation pressure. This could be lower than, equal to, or higher than the normal or hydrostatic pressure for a given depth. Hydrostatic or normal pressure is the force
