1-47 A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kPa. Deter- mine the absolute pressure in the chamber.
A vacuum gage reads 8 in. Hg when the atmospheric pressure 29.0 in. Hg. If the specific gravity of mercury is 13.6, compute the absolute pressure in psi.
Question 3. i. Define absolute pressure, gage pressure and vacuum pressure. ii. If a mercury barometer reads 720 mm Hg. Determine the atmospheric pressure in kPa and psi. (I psi -6.895 kPa. Density of Hg - 13.56 g/cc). Question 4 i. Define/explain energy, kinetic energy, potential energy and internal energy ii. Explain the contribution/mechanism of internal energy with sketch.

8. The figure shows a tank within a tank, each containing air. Pressure gage A, which indicates pressure inside tank A, is located inside tank B and reads 5 psig (vacuum). The U-tube Pa 14.7 psia Tank B manometer connected to tank B contains water with a column length of 10 in. Using the data shown on the figure, determine the absolute pressure of the air inside tank B and inside tank A, both in psia. The atmospheric pressure surrounding...
(10 points) The air pressure within the bicycle tire is determined from a gage to be 45.5 psi. If the local atmospheric pressure is 14.7 psi, determine the absolute pressure in the tire. Report answer in psi. 1.
Gage pressure represents the difference between the absolute pressure and the local atmospheric pressure while vacuum represents the difference between the absolute pressure and the gage pressure оо
Q3) An inclined manometer tube is connected to two closed tanks as shown in the figure below where !-210 cm. A gage was used to measure the pressure at the center of tank A and the reading was 60 kPa. A barometer locates near the tanks reads 72 cm of mercury. Specific weight of water is 9.81 kN/m3 and specific gravity (SG) of mercury is 13.6. a) Find the gage pressure in the center of tank B. b) Find the...
The figure shows a cylindrical tank of 80 em in diameter which is fully filled with water. In order to increase the flow from the tank to the exit pipe on the left, an additional pressure is applied to the water surface by an air compressor to supply air to the upper air chamber of the tank. The external walls of the tank are exposed to the atmospheric conditions of the area. You are required to determine the hydrostatic conditions...
