Question

Pitot tube is used to measure
A) static pressure B) velocity at stagnation point C) stagnation pressure D) dynamic pressure

Answer 1

Answer:

Pitot tube is used to measure

A) static pressure

B) velocity at stagnation point☑️

C) stagnation pressure

D) dynamic pressure

Answer 2

Answer:

In fluid dynamics, stagnation pressure (or pitot pressure) is the static pressure at a stagnation point in a fluid flow. At a stagnation point the fluid velocity is zero. In an incompressible flow, stagnation pressure is equal to the sum of the free-stream static pressure and the free-stream dynamic pressure.
