Please engage actively in the discussion: For a design project that involves a vertical tank for loading, it is necessary to measure the pressure P inside the tank on-site. Among the five pressure measurement points shown as P1, P2, P3, P4, and P5 in the figure below, which one is the most appropriate? How about the other locations?
If it’s the pressure inside the tank, what I’ve experienced so far is taking readings from the top of the tank, that is, P1
For the pressure inside the tank, 2 and 5 are excluded first. As for the two points 3 and 4, they are affected by the interface of the material. So choose 1:lol:lol. The teacher taught us the process of elimination.

Anyway, this trick has always worked for exams when I was in school. But as a professional in the chemical industry, it is still necessary to be well-founded and rigorous and scientific
Actually, in engineering design, this elimination method is also quite good!
