  2. Static pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure

    At least one author takes a different approach in order to avoid a need for the expression freestream static pressure. Gracey has written "The static pressure is the atmospheric pressure at the flight level of the aircraft". [15] [16] Gracey then refers to the air pressure at any point close to the aircraft as the local static pressure.

  3. Diffuser (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(thermodynamics)

    A diffuser is "a device for reducing the velocity and increasing the static pressure of a fluid passing through a system”. [1] The fluid's static pressure rise as it passes through a duct is commonly referred to as pressure recovery. In contrast, a nozzle is used to increase the discharge velocity and lower the pressure of a fluid passing ...

  4. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    Pressure has dimensions of energy per unit volume, therefore the pressure drop between two points must be proportional to the dynamic pressure q. We also know that pressure must be proportional to the length of the pipe between the two points L as the pressure drop per unit length is a constant.

  5. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    This is why static pressure and dynamic pressure are never the same in a system in which the fluid is in motion. This pressure difference arises from a change in fluid velocity that produces velocity head, which is a term of the Bernoulli equation that is zero when there is no bulk motion of the fluid. In the picture on the right, the pressure ...

  6. Friction loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_loss

    The friction loss is customarily given as pressure loss for a given duct length, Δp / L, in units of (US) inches of water for 100 feet or (SI) kg / m 2 / s 2. For specific choices of duct material, and assuming air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), standard charts can be used to calculate the expected friction loss.

  7. Pipe flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_flow

    In fluid mechanics, pipe flow is a type of fluid flow within a closed conduit, such as a pipe, duct or tube. It is also called as Internal flow. [1] The other type of flow within a conduit is open channel flow. These two types of flow are similar in many ways, but differ in one important aspect.

  8. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    Pressure will be atmospheric at both −∞ and +∞ Density will be equal at both −∞ and +∞ Velocity will change due to flow across an assumed converging duct Stagnation enthalpy will be different at −∞ and +∞ The static Enthalpy will be same at −∞ and +∞ as it depends upon the atmospheric conditions that will be the same

  9. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

    Ducts for air pollution control in a 17000 standard cubic feet per minute regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO). A round galvanized steel duct connecting to a typical diffuser Fire-resistance rated mechanical shaft with HVAC sheet metal ducting and copper piping, as well as "HOW" (Head-Of-Wall) joint between top of concrete block wall and underside of concrete slab, firestopped with ceramic ...
