confined fluids. The word confined means trapped or completely enclosed. The word fluid implies such liquids as water, oil, or anything that flows. Since both liquids and gases flow, they are considered as fluids; however, there is a great deal ... hard it is compressed. But gases are highly compressible; a quart of air can be compressed into a thimbleful of space. In spite of this difference, gases and liquids are both fluids and can be confined and made to transmit…

pressures which the several gases would exert separately if each were allowed to occupy the entire space alone at the given temperature.” Figure 5-37. Boyle’s law example. Fluid Mechanics By definition, a fluid is any substance that ... gases are both classified as fluids, and often act in a very similar way. One significant difference comes into play when a force is applied to these fluids. In this case, liquids tend to be incompressible and gases are highly…

Pressurization Systems Pressure of the Atmosphere The gases of the atmosphere (air), although invisible, have weight. A one square inch column of air stretching from sea level into space weighs 14.7 pounds. Therefore, it can be stated that the pressure ... atmosphere, or atmospheric pressure, at sea level is 14.7 psi. [Figure 16-34] Atmospheric pressure is also known as barometric pressure and is measured with a barometer. [Figure 16-35] Expressed in various ways, such as in inches of mercury…
