When a fluid (whether liquid or gaseous) passes through the orifice, its pressure builds up slightly upstream of the orifice [1] but as the fluid is forced to converge to pass through the hole, the velocity increases and the fluid pressure decreases.
Dynamic compression plate. A dynamic compression plate (DCP) is a metallic plate used in orthopedics for internal fixation of bone, [1] typically after fractures.As the name implies, it is designed to exert dynamic pressure between the bone fragments to be transfixed.
The pressure of this small mass is around 3 × 10 −15 atm (0.3 nPa), varying throughout the day, and in total mass less than 10 metric tonnes.
