  2. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    As fluid flows through a Venturi, the expansion and compression of the fluids cause the pressure inside the Venturi to change. This principle can be used in metrology for gauges calibrated for differential pressures. This type of pressure measurement may be more convenient, for example, to measure fuel or combustion pressures in jet or rocket ...

  3. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    At the meniscus interface, due to the surface tension, there is a pressure difference of =, where is the pressure on the convex side; and is known as Laplace pressure. If the tube has a circular section of radius r 0 {\displaystyle r_{0}} , and the meniscus has a spherical shape, the radius of curvature is r = r 0 / cos ⁡ θ {\displaystyle r ...

  4. Pascal's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal's_law

    Pressure in water and air. Pascal's law applies for fluids. Pascal's principle is defined as: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed incompressible fluid at rest is transmitted equally and undiminished to all points in all directions throughout the fluid, and the force due to the pressure acts at right angles to the enclosing walls.

  5. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The change in pressure over distance dx is dp and flow velocity v = ⁠ dx / dt ⁠. Apply Newton's second law of motion (force = mass × acceleration) and recognizing that the effective force on the parcel of fluid is −A dp. If the pressure decreases along the length of the pipe, dp is negative but the force resulting in flow is positive ...

  6. Two-balloon experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-balloon_experiment

    The lower pressure balloon will expand. Figure 2 (above left) shows a typical initial configuration: The smaller balloon has the higher pressure because of the sum of pressure of elastic force Fe which is proportional to pressure (P=Fe/S) plus air pressure in small balloon is greater than air pressure in big balloon.

  7. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points. Differential pressure sensors are used to measure many properties, such as pressure drops across oil filters or air filters, fluid levels (by comparing the pressure above and below the liquid) or flow rates (by measuring the change in pressure across a restriction ...

  8. Overblowing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overblowing

    Overblowing is the manipulation of supplied air through a wind instrument that causes the sounded pitch to jump to a higher one without a fingering change or the operation of a slide. Overblowing may involve a change in the air pressure, in the point at which the air is directed, or in the resonance characteristics of the chamber formed by the ...

  9. List of musical symbols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols

    Not a true clef—the lines and spaces do not represent pitches. The lines represent the strings of an instrument (for standard 6-stringed guitars, six lines would be used). Numbers on the lines show which fret to use. Because the lines represent strings rather than pitches, the spaces between the lines are never used.
