Transport phenomena manometers

Key learning in transport phenomena :-
Unit of viscosity in oil field units is:- centipoise
Dimensional equation:- The eqn having a constant which has units is called a dimensional eqn.
1 ft = 30.48 cm
1 ft^3 = 0.0283 m^3
Compressible fluids:- If density changes with pressure and temp. then the fluid is called compressible fluid.
Fluid is a substance that doesnt permanently resist distortion.
Static pressure of fluid flow is measured in the direction parallel to the flow of the fluid.
dynamic pressure is measured in the perpendicular direction to the fluid flow.
Static pressure has to be measured about 50 diameters away from any bends, to get the accurate values.
