- The static pressure acts equally in all directions at the same time.
- The static pressure always acts at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid.
When a pressure is applied to one end of an enclosed volume of fluid the pressure is transmitted equally to every other part of the fluid.
Pressure drop
When a fluid flows through a pipe, frictional forces will mean that energy is expended. This results in the work pushing the fluid into the pipe is ...
