At point B, the gauge pressure is 22 kPa.
Calculation:
Given gauge pressure is 50 kPa.
Diameter is 3.0cm
speed is 2.0m/s
the gauge pressure is 22 kPa.
Pg denotes gauge pressure, which is related to absolute pressure as follows: Pa is the local atmospheric pressure, and pg is equal to p - pa. Example: 32.0 psi is the tire pressure as measured by an automobile tire gauge. 14.2 psi is the atmospheric pressure in the area.
In order to calculate gauge pressure, atmospheric (ambient) pressure is subtracted from absolute pressure. A scenario where the absolute pressure is higher than the atmospheric pressure is referred to as positive overpressure, and a situation where the absolute pressure is lower than the atmospheric pressure is referred to as negative overpressure.
