Question

In the pitot tube, when kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy causing the liquid to rise in the vertical limb, the height of liquid is called

• A. stagnation pressure head
• B. dynamic pressure head
• C. normal pressure head
• D. static pressure head

Answer 1

Answer:

A. stagnation pressure head

The height of liquid in the vertical limb of a pitot tube, which is equal to the stagnation pressure head, is measured to determine velocity
