What is pressure equal to?
Pressure = force divided by area p = F / A.
What happens to the air pressure as you go higher?
Air pressure decreases as you move higher in the atmosphere. Air, just like any form of matter has mass, and when affected by earth's gravity, weight. The weight of air is pushing down on you with a force of 1 atmosphere at sea level. As you increase elevation the air pressure is reduced because there is less air to push down on you. Just like air, water pressure increases as you increase your depth in it, or any fluid.
Nitrogen gas plus hydrogen gas under pressure and at high temperature turns into ammonia?
N2 + 3h2 2nh3
How many atoms are in the compound 2H2SO?
2H2SO does not represent any compound that I recall. The closest match for this that I do recall is Sulphuric Acid with a formula: H2SO4 The total number of atoms in Sulphuric acid is: Hydrogen [2] plus Sulphur [1] plus Oxygen [4] making a total of 7 atoms in all.
How could strong winds from a hurricane blow the roof off a house?
The wind travels over the roof creating an area of low-pressure directly above the roof. When the pressure below the roof increases to a point that is greater than the pressure above plus greater than the buildings' structural resistance off it goes.
What type of pressure is defined as gauge water pressure plus atmospheric air pressure?
Absolute
What are the difference between room pressure and absolete pressure?
standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 14.73 psi Absolute pressure is a gauge plus atmospheric pressure. The gauge being something that you are detecting.. i.e hot water tank.
Gauge pressure and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is what you get when you take the reading from your tire pressure gauge. Absolute pressure is the pressure inside your tires plus the atmospheric pressure, which is roughly; 14.7 psi, 101.3 kPa (kilo-Pascals), or one atmosphere. Absolute pressure measures all of the pressure on your tires, inside and out, whereas gauge simply measures the pressure inside the tire.
What is absolute pressure?
Absolute pressure is simply the addition of the observed gage pressure plus the value of the local atmospheric pressure.
If the absolute pressure of gas is?
Absolute pressure is simply the addition of the observed gage pressure plus the value of the local atmospheric pressure.
What is PSIA?
psia IS the abbreviation. It stands for Pounds per Square Inch Absolute. When determining a pressure, you are typically measuring it with something that is subjected to atmospheric pressure (1atm~14psia) just like you and I. So say you inflate your tires to 35 psi and check it with a tire gauge. That reading is the GAUGE pressure, or psig. Typically, gauge pressures will not use the G at the end because people tend to be good enough at noticing that there's a difference between "psi" and "psia" and start to ask questions. The ABSOLUTE pressure is the gauge pressure plus the atmospheric pressure. Expressed in equation form, this looks like: psia = psig + atm -or- psig = psia - atm In the case of a vacuum, where there is less than atmospheric pressure, an absolute gauge will read positive values while a typical gauge will read negative values. The equation still holds true. Example: Absolute pressure = 4 psia 1 atm ~ 14 psia What is the gauge pressure? -10 psig 4 psia - 14 psia = -10 psig
What is the cause of liquid pressure?
The weight of the liquid is, plus possibly the atmospheric pressure on the top surface of the liquid.
Water pressure can be measured in PSI is ther any other way?
Yes, there are many ways to measure pressure. * pascal (Pa) * bar * technical atmosphere (at) * atmosphere (atm) * torr (Torr) * pound-force per square inch (psi) * psia (pounds-force per square inch absolute) --- gauge pressure plus local atmospheric pressure. * psid (psi difference) --- difference between two pressures. * psig (pounds-force per square inch gauge). * psivg (psi vented gauge) --- difference between the measuring point and the local pressure. * psisg (psi sealed gauge) --- difference between a chamber of air sealed at atmospheric pressure and the pressure at the measuring point. Check out the links for MUCH more information.
When molecules from below the surface of a liquid become a gaswhat is happening?
Boiling - the vapor pressure exceeds atmospheric PLUS the pressure of the depth of the liquid.
What is pressure equal to?
Pressure = force divided by area p = F / A.
Why negative symbol is used to show vacuum?
No common vacuum units that I know of use negative values for a vacuum. Although pressure is an absolute quantity, everyday pressure measurements, such as for tire pressure, are usually made relative to ambient air pressure. In other cases measurements are made relative to a vacuum or to some other ad hoc reference. When distinguishing between these zero references, the following terms are used: Absolute pressure is zero referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it is equal to gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure. Gauge pressure is zero referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. Negative signs are usually omitted. Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points. The zero reference in use is usually implied by context, and these words are only added when clarification is needed. Tire pressure and blood pressure are gauge pressures by convention, while atmospheric pressures, deep vacuum pressures, and altimeter pressures must be absolute. Differential pressures are commonly used in industrial process systems. Differential pressure gauges have two inlet ports, each connected to one of the volumes whose pressure is to be monitored. In effect, such a gauge performs the mathematical operation of subtraction through mechanical means, obviating the need for an operator or control system to watch two separate gauges and determine the difference in readings. Moderate vacuum pressures are often ambiguous, as they may represent absolute pressure or gauge pressure without a negative sign. Thus a vacuum of 26 inHg gauge is equivalent to an absolute pressure of 30 inHg (typical atmospheric pressure) − 26 inHg = 4 inHg.
What type of reaction is hydrogen and nitrogen gases react to make ammonia used in fertilizer?
Natural gas plus steam plus atmospheric air under pressure=> NH3 + CO2
