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...
Problems in Fluid Pressure and Pressure Force 1. AU-tube manometer with mercury is connected to two points on an inclined pipe carrying water. There is an elevation difference of 4ft between the lower and upper points. If the mercury level difference between the two sides of the manometer is 20.3 inches, what is the pressure at the lower point in the pipe, if the pressure at the upper point is 17.5 psi? 2. A vertical semicircular disc of 2 m...
Determine the new differential reading along the inclined leg of the mercury manometer of the figure below, if the pressure in pipe A is decreased 25 kPa and the pressure in pipe B remains unchanged. The fluid in A has a specific gravity of 0.9 and the fluid in B is water. Assume h1 = 40 mm, h2 = 20 mm, h3 = 32 mm. Determine the new differential reading along the inclined leg of the mercury manometer of the...
1.16 An inverted U-tube manometer containing oil (SG = 0.8) is connected to two vessels as shown in Fig. 1.16. The vessel on the left contains liquid carbon tetrachloride (density 1600 kg/m3), is closed and pressurised to 50 kPa (gauge). The vessel on the right contains water and is open to the atmosphere. Use the given data to determine the depth H of the liquid stored in the left vessel. Ans: 0.89 m Carbon tetrachloride 50 kPa 02 m Oil...
QUESTION 4 Two pipelines containing oil are connected by a differential manometer, as shown below. The pressure in pipe A is 10.7 psi. Determine the pressure in pipe B. 32" 27" 30" 24" 18" 21" Water Oil, S.G-0.86 Mercury, S.G.-13.57 o a- 3.8 psi Ob. 5.14 ps ??. 6,0 psi d 7.3 psi
* Incorrect. The inclined differential manometer of the figure below contains carbon tetrachloride. Initially the pressure differential between pipes A and B, which contain a brine (SG = 1.11), is zero as illustrated in the figure. It is desired that the manometer give a differential reading of 12 in. (measured along the inclined tube) for a pressure differential of 0.1 psi. Determine the required angle of inclination, O. Brine 12 in. -------Carbon- tetrachloride O= i 27.8
3. The system below is a pumping glycerol and is connected to a mercury manometer (assume 20 C). The inlet diameter is 3 in and the outlet diameter is 6 in. If the pump is moving 1.5 ftVs glycerol while supplying 3 HP (horsepower) into the system, calculate the height h (in inches) in the manometer. Hint: An energy balance will allow you to determine the pressure difference, which is related to h. But also consider that the manometer is...
