A pitot tube is inserted in a ventilation duct with the nose facing the air flow. A vertical U-tube manometer filled with alcohol (specific gravity 0.8) has been used for pressure measurements such that 10.2 mm is read as the total pressure and 8.8 mm as the static pressure. Given the density of air to be 1.2 kg/m3, the air velocity at the nose of the pitot tube in m/s is
What does a pitot tube measure? Upon which principle does a pitot tube work?
The important design and operating considerations for Extended-Surface Compact Heat Exchangers are: (1) Both fluids may have high or low heat transfer coefficients (2) As the tubes are very narrow (low DH), the fluid used should not be corrosive as effective cleaning of tubes is not possible. (3) The fluid pressure drop calculation is important as a regulatory method to ensure long life of the tubes. (4) Unlike shell and tube type heat exchangers, these are limited when it comes to operating pressure and temperature.
