By Mathematical :
P = F/A
Atoms
these atoms & mole walls per unit area.
& • Pressure does not have to be along the wall
Molecules
of a container but rather can be measures
as the force per unit area along any plane
Air Pressure:
Example
STATIC
DYNAMIC
Static Pressure
• No motion occurring
• Example : Air inside balloon or water in a basin
Dynamic Pressure
• Motion of a fluid changes the force applied to its surrounding
Gauge Type
Absolute Type
Differential Type
Strain Gauge
Variable Capacitance
Piezoelectric
• Generally very stable & linear, but are sensitive to high temperature and more
complicated to setup than most pressure sensors
You can see them in Chemical, petroleum, Pertol Chemical, Polymer and Food
Processors.
3. Fahrenheit
- Define by Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 1724 )
- Using ice point ( 32 deg F)
- Human Body temperature 96 deg F as fixed scale
- Fundamental interval ( ice point to steam point ) turn out to be 180 deg F
5. Rankin Scale
- cale is equivalent of the thermodynamic Kelvin Scale
- The temperature of the triple pont of water on the Rankine scale corresponding to
273.16K, is very near to 491.69 deg
- Temperature Detectors
- Thermistors
• For RTD circuits, however, some portions of the lead wires are exposed to changing
temperatures. Since the resistance of metal wire changes with temperature, Rlead changes with
T, which can cause errors in the measurement. This error can be non-trivial - changes in lead
resistance maybe misinterpreted as changes in RTD resistance
• Furthermore, there are two lead wires in the two-wire RTD bridge circuit shown
above, which doubles the error.
o Recall the general formula for a Wheatstone bridge, as discussed in the strain gage learning
module:
• Notice that R3 and R2 have opposite signs in the above equation. So, if the lead wire
resistance in leg 2 (top) and that in leg 3 (bottom) are the same, the lead resistances cancel
each other out, with no net effect on the output voltage, thus eliminating the error
• What about the third lead resistance, Rlead of the middle wire? Well, since Vo is measured with a nearly
infinite impedance device, no current flows in the middle lead wire, so its resistance does not affect anything!
• In the above diagram, it is clear that if Rlead changes equally in leg 2 and leg 3 of the bridge, its effect
cancels out
