A pitot tube is a flow measurement device used to measure fluid flow velocity. The pitot tube was invented by the French engineer Henri Pitot in the early 18th century and was modified to its modern form in the mid-19th century by French scientist Henry Darcy. It is widely used to determine the airspeed of an aircraft, water speed of a boat, and to measure liquid, air and gas flow velocities in certain industrial applications.

Yes. In the pipe flow, I have shown stagnation pressure greater than static pressure. I think you have commented about the last part of the video where stagnation pressure and static pressure boxes of a pitot tube are shown of the same size. The boxes just show the two pressure chambers not their magnitude or value.

How do you go from the expression at 4:17 to the one at 4:30 with delta h defined?
@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED
@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED 2 жыл бұрын
The expression at 4:17 is V=sqrt((2*(p2-p1))/rho)). The expression for p2-p1 is obtained from Bernoulli's equation applied on the manometer liquid and replaced here. So, Bernoulli's equation is P1+(1/2)*rho*V1^2 + rho *g *h1 = P2+(1/2)*rho*V2^2 + rho *g *h2. Since V1=V2=0 as liquid inside the manometer is stationary. So we can further write P1+ rho * g * h1 = P2+ rho *g *h2. P2 - P2 = rho * g *(h1-h2) we can write, h1-h2 = delta h delta h = (P2 - P1)/ (rho *g) Replacing P2 - P1 in the expression of velocity we get V=sqrt((2 * delta h * rho_l *g)/rho)) I hope it gets clear now.

Thank you very much, sir, for replying to my question. My confusion was about point 2 actually. Because all the fluid inside the pitot tube is in static equilibrium and does not move, and so point 2 isn't moving either. But then i remembered that in other problems, for example when draining a large tank we also apply the Bernulli equation between a point that's not moving( at the top) and a point that is moving(at the outlet).

The direction of wind should be towards the pitot tube. For example if the pitot tube is on a aircraft and the aircraft is moving from right to left. Then the air will enter the pitot tube from left to right.

Can we use accelerometers instead of pitot tubes?
@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED
@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED 2 жыл бұрын
I don't think accelerometers can be used instead of pitot tubes for velocity measurement in aircrafts. Because aircrafts are not always moving in a straight direction, they sometimes go up and down due to which the angle of attack of air on the aircraft can change and the stagnation point moves as the aircraft angle of attack changes. But the pitot tube front opening always hits the stagnation point so it can measure the correct velocity. Since accelerometers are kind of inertial instruments that measure acceleration using the force acting on the aircraft skin, the air will apply different force on different part of aircraft depending on the angle of attack. So it may give wrong value of aircraft velocity. So pitot tube is still in use.

@@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED Okay, but I got this question after realising that our smartphones use accelerometers and using that they show velocity on google maps I guess (I guess using integration and other algorithms)... So that's why the question. And also, can't we use 3 axis accelerometers and gyroscopes for better understanding with proper sensitive data excluding body vibrations and all...?

@@rohanshinde9575I think your question was very interesting and innovative thinking. But I am not an expert in accelerometers. So from my knowledge, I think it is not feasible for any accelerometer to measure correct velocity for any fast moving object especially which are rapidly changing orientation. The accelerometer can gauge the orientation of a stationary item with relation to Earth's surface. When accelerating in a particular direction, the accelerometer is unable to distinguish between that and the acceleration provided through Earth's gravitational pull. Using a three-axis accelerometer one could identify the orientation of a platform relative to the Earth's surface. However, once that platform begins moving, its readings become more complicated to interpret. For example, in a free fall, the accelerometer would show zero acceleration. In an aircraft performing a 60-degree angle of bank for a turn, a three-axis accelerometer would register a 2-G vertical acceleration, ignoring the tilt entirely. Ultimately, an accelerometer cannot be used alone to assist in keeping aircrafts properly oriented. As far as I know, gyroscopes are used in rockets but mostly for inertial stability and to maintain its trajectory. You can go to this link for more knowledge www.livescience.com/40103-accelerometer-vs-gyroscope.html

@@ENGINEERINGSTREAMLINED About the free-fall example, can't we use two or combinations of accelerometers like one is fixed for 1g and the other for zero-g acceleration at one reference point which is a standalone point. Also, found this wiki article fascinating on the inertial nav system- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system for a detailed comparison, can search the term 'pressure' on the webpage... They mentioned some errors in numerical integration under the drift rate section...

@@rohanshinde9575 I read the Pressure Reference System form the wikipedia page. It seems to be promising but still this system mainly depends on data from sensors and as mentioned, the data from sensors can cause errors due to environmental parameters such as temperature effects, engine vibrations, etc. So maybe in future if all these errors are taken care of then this type of system will be used in aircrafts. So currently, the industry is going with the most reliable way to measure the velocity that is pitot tube.
