Q714

The __________ is measured by a piezometric opening.

A.
Dynamic pressure
B.
Static pressure
C.
Total pressure
Answer
D.
Point velocity

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The total pressure is measured by a piezometric opening. This pressure is the sum of the dynamic pressure and the static pressure in a fluid flow. The piezometric opening helps measure the total energy of the fluid, which includes both kinetic and potential energy. Therefore, in this context, the correct option is Option C: Total pressure
