Pressure Energy
Calculate the potential of pressure energy in a incompressible fluid.

The pressure energy in an incompressible fluid volume, like a pressurized tank with water, can be expressed as
Δ E = Δp / ρ (1)
where
Δ E = potential energy (J/kg, Btu/lb)
Δ p = pressure difference (Pa (N/m 2 ), lb/ft 2 )
ρ = density of fluid (kg/m 3 , lb/ft 3 )
Example - Pressure Energy in a Water Tank
The pressure in a water tank is 10 bar (10 6 Pa) . With density of water 1000 kg/m 3 the potential pressure energy can be calculated as
E = (10 6 Pa) / ( 1000 kg/m > 3 )
= 1000 J/kg
