The discussion centers on the behavior of pressurized fluid in a closed-loop system at 70 psi, specifically regarding pressure changes along a vertical path. It is established that fluid pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid column, similar to underwater pressure dynamics. The configuration involves a pump that raises fluid two stories high, followed by horizontal movement and a return to the pump. The pressure at ground level will indeed be affected by the vertical height of the fluid column, regardless of the system being closed or open.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, fluid mechanics students, and professionals involved in designing hydraulic systems or analyzing fluid behavior in pressurized environments will benefit from this discussion.
Kaly said:Hello, I am willing to know if the value of pressurized fluid along a rectangular path placed normal to ground (let's say 2 stories high) would show any change in pressure along the lines normal to ground. I am not worried where fluid would move horizontal to ground but what would happen when it rises or falls? would pressure change? or remain same if it is pumped at 70psi pressure let's say.
