  2. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    The meter is "read" as a differential pressure head in cm or inches of water and is equivalent to the difference in velocity head. The dynamic pressure, along with the static pressure and the pressure due to elevation, is used in Bernoulli's principle as an energy balance on a closed system.

  3. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    The difference in liquid levels represents the applied pressure. The pressure exerted by a column of fluid of height h and density ρ is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation, P = hgρ. Therefore, the pressure difference between the applied pressure P a and the reference pressure P 0 in a U-tube manometer can be found by solving P a − P ...

  4. 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.

  5. Sound pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

    A sound wave in a transmission medium causes a deviation (sound pressure, a dynamic pressure) in the local ambient pressure, a static pressure. Sound pressure, denoted p, is defined by = +, where p total is the total pressure, p stat is the static pressure.

  6. Reference data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_data

    A further difference between reference data and master data is that a change to the reference data values may require an associated change in business process to support the change, while a change in master data will always be managed as part of existing business processes. For example, adding a new customer or sales product is part of the ...

  7. Stagnation pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagnation_Pressure

    The two points of interest are 1) in the freestream flow at relative speed where the pressure is called the "static" pressure, (for example well away from an airplane moving at speed ); and 2) at a "stagnation" point where the fluid is at rest with respect to the measuring apparatus (for example at the end of a pitot tube in an airplane).

  8. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    A rotating frame of reference is a special case of a non-inertial reference frame that is rotating relative to an inertial reference frame. An everyday example of a rotating reference frame is the surface of the Earth. (This article considers only frames rotating about a fixed axis. For more general rotations, see Euler angles.)

  9. Mercury pressure gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_pressure_gauge

    When the test pressure is applied, the mercury rises in both the left and right columns and falls in the centre column. The mercury at the top of the capillary breaks and a vacuum forms there. The pressure is then measured in the usual way by the difference between the heights of the right and centre columns. [11]
