When a fluid is put under pressure, the volume decreases and the temperature may rise a tiny bit because the particles are compressed.

How do you use a manometer?

A manometer is a device that is used to measure the pressure of a fluid. The U-shaped glass tube is partially filled with a liquid, usually mercury. The difference between the height of the mercury corresponds to the difference between the pressure of the fluid in the container and the atmospheric pressure.


How do you set up manometer?

To set up a manometer, first ensure that it is securely mounted in a vertical position. Fill the manometer with a fluid, typically mercury or water, making sure there are no air bubbles. Connect the manometer to the system you want to measure the pressure of, and then observe the height difference of the fluid levels in the manometer to determine the pressure.


Explain how fluids exert pressure?

The only difference between the way a fluid exerts pressure and the way a solid does is that a fluid flows into any available space, and so it exerts pressure very evenly. If you want a more detailed analysis, ultimately physical matter exerts pressure by means of the electrostatic repulsion between electrons.


What does 288 fluid ounces weigh?

The weight of 288 fluid ounces depends on the density of the liquid being measured. For water, which has a density of about 1 ounce per fluid ounce, 288 fluid ounces would weigh approximately 288 ounces, or 18 pounds. If the liquid is denser or lighter, the weight would vary accordingly.


What is a Pitometer?

It's not a unit of measurement, that's for sure. It's a piece of equipment that measures the relative velocity of fluid, such as in wastewater applications or in firefighting (when you want to know how fast and hard the water is coming through a particular piece of pipe).

How much pressure would it take to crush a diamond?

First, this would be a tragic waste of a gemstone, if that's the one you want to crush. Diamonds are hard, they are not 'strong'. You may be able to shatter a diamond with a hammer.


Can you work well under deadlines or pressure?

Answer to "Working Under Deadlines or Pressure"You could answer "Yes, some of my best work has been done under deadlines or pressure." You might want to be prepared to give an example. Remember, though, if you don't work well under those conditions, it will show if you get the job.


Mustang red fluid leak drivers side?

Um, yeah, you may want to check the brake fluid level in your master cylinder. But, if it's not that, it could be transmission fluid, but I would expect that to be more centered under the car. Also, I suppose it could be power steering fluid, but my Mustang doesn't have power steering so I'm not familar with the placement of its reservoir.

Have no pressure in your brake petle?

Most common and least expensive answer would be that somehow air has gotten into your brakelines. Check brake fluid level first. After topping it off, need to "bleed" the lines. May want a mechanic to do this if new to you.
