Does it matter if one uses gauge instead of absolute pressures in applying Bernoulli’s equation? Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If the pressures at the two places where Bernoulli’s theorem is applied are not much different, it does not matter if one uses gauge pressure instead of absolute pressure.

Consider a cylindrical tube closed at one end and fitted with a conducting, movable piston at the other end. A cathode is fixed in the tube near the closed end and an anode is fixed with the piston. A gas is filled in the tube at pressure p . Using Paschen equation V = f(pd), show that the sparking potential does not change as the piston is slowly moved in or out. Assume that the temperature does not change in the process.
