Chap 2 Q

The document contains multiple problems involving manometers and pressure measurements: 1) A tank within a tank contains air at 1.4 bar as measured by a gage. The atmospheric pressure is 72 cm Hg. Calculate the absolute pressures. 2) A U-tube manometer contains water at 70 cm and light oil above it at a 4:1 ratio. Calculate the fluid heights. 3) A double manometer contains fluids with densities of 10 and 8 kN/m3. Calculate the absolute and gauge pressures if atmospheric is 101.3 kPa.

Figure 1a shows a tank within a tank, each containing air.

Pressure gage A is located inside tank B and reads 1.4 bar. The U-tube manometer connected to tank B contains mercury. A barometer was used to measure the atmospheric pressure and the mercury height measured was 72 cm. Calculate the absolute pressures inside tank A and tank B. (262.74kPa) The specific weight of mercury is 133416 kg/m2s2

Consider a U-tube whose arms are open to the atmosphere as shown in figure 1b . Now water is poured into the U-tube from one arm, and light oil ( = 790 kg/m3) from the other. One arm contains 70-cm high water, while the other arm contains both fluids with oil to water height ratio of 4. Calculate the height of each fluid in that arm.

Figure 1 show a manometer used to measure the air pressure. The specific weight for fluid A is 10kN/m3 and fluid B is 8kN/m3.Calculate the absolute and gauge pressure of P 1 if the atmospheric pressure is 101.3kPa

A water pipe is connected to a double-U manometer as shown in Figure 1 at a location where the local atmospheric pressure is 100kPa. a) Determine the absolute pressure at the center of the pipe. b) Determine the gauge pressure at the center of the pipe. c) To clarify value of the atmospheric pressure, you are required to use a barometer with glycerin having density of 1260kg/m3, what will the height of the barometer?

The gauge pressure of the air in the tank shown in Figure 1 is measured to be 80 kPa. Determine the differential height h of the mercury column. The devices was measured at place having atmospheric pressure of 120kPa. Find the absolute pressure of the air in the tank.

Test dip.The water in a tank is pressurized by air, and the pressure is measured by a multi-fluid manometer as shown in figure 1. Calculate the gauge pressure of air in the tank if h 1 = 0.2 m, h 2 = 0.3 m, and h 3 = 0.46 m. Take the densities of water, oil, and mercury to be 1000 kg/m3, 850 kg/m3, and 13,600 kg/m3, respectively.
