The hydrostatic head is lowered and the fluid is gas lifted to the surface.
Power is recovered from both the hydrostatic head and from the kinetic energy of the flowing water.
When dock machinery required hydraulic power, the hydrostatic head of the water's height above ground provided the necessary pressure.
However, the hydrostatic head supplied by this mechanism could not feed the numerous channels at elevations greater than the base of the southern polar cap.
Given a hydrostatic head of 2116 psi, the pressure at the wellhead must not exceed 2634 psi.
Rain resistance is measured and expressed as hydrostatic head in millimetres (mm).
With a hydrostatic head of only 1000 mm, they may best be considered as summer tents.
The depth to water (hydrostatic head) averages 14 feet below the surface, closely correlated with topography.
Forced circulation occurs when hydrostatic head prevents boiling at the heating surface.
This can be effective at achieving the central aim of a well kill; building up a sufficient hydrostatic head in the well bore.
