Ok, I agree it only acts like a solid in regards to compression not tension or sheer.
And yes, at some pressure under 3,000 psi the compressibility of water is essentially negligible, as mentioned, in this case it acts similar to a steel rod under compression.
In regard to the main question...
Ok take Pascal's law out of the question.
We start with the compressibility of water.
Our piston will move a distance that is related to the compressibility of the water.
So depending on what the applied pressure is, the total volume of the water in the pipe will be reduced by a percent of its...
Thank you for all the insightful comments.
As long as the water is not compressed, then yes I totally agree, the water in the pipe acts as a solid under compression, when the water has pressure applied to it.
I believe that I read somewhere that below 3,000 psi water is essentially non...
The pipes are horizonal and each pipe is a closed system. Lets say one pipe is 10 feet long and the other pipe is 5,000 feet long. Again one end of both separate pipes is caped, the other end of both separate pipes has a piston applying pressure on to the water in the pipe. I would like to...
It is my understanding is, general, when you have liquid under pressure in a closed vessel, like a hydraulic bottle jack, the pressure is the same through out the vessel. However in this thought experiment we have a piston applying force on the water in the vessel. There are two separate...
At this point it is a thought experiment. Two separate pipes, each one is caped on one end. So actually they are two containers, that happen to be in the shape of a pipe. Good observation, yes lets say they are both horizonal. At the other end of each pipe is a piston that delivers the same...
The piston's acting on each pipe are equal in size and they apply the same force on the water in both pipes. We know that the pressure created within the pipes is equal at all points, however since one pipe holds a much larger volume of water, will the pressure of the water in that pipe be...
The same size piston supplies pressure on both pipes. In a closed system the static pressure is the same at all points. But, the longer pipe holds a greater volume of water. My assumption is; since the applied pressure in the longer pipe acts on a grater volume of water, then the pressure...
I have an idea, that may be patentable, for how to cost competitively produce hydrogen.
I posted a question about a fundamental principle involved in the system I'm thinking about.
Thank you for commenting on it.
Pascal Pressure
My Question:
Two pipes filled with water and caped at one end, they have the same diameter, but different lengths.
One pipe is 10 feet long and the other pipe is 1,000 feet long.
At the other end of both pipes a piston applies an equal amount of pressure on the water in the pipes...
