A U-tube mercury manometer… column is 34 mm solved problem

column is 34 mm

A U-tube mercury manometer with one arm open to atmosphere is used to measure pressure in a steam pipe. The level of mercury in open arm is 97.5 mm greater than that in the arm connected to the pipe condenses in the manometer arm connected to the pipe. The height of this column is 34 mm. The atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of Hg. Find the absolute pressure of steam.

A U-tube mercury manometer with one arm open to atmosphere is used to measure pressure in a steam pipe. The level of mercury in open arm is 97.5 mm greater than that in the arm connected to the pipe condenses in the manometer arm connected to the pipe. The height of this column is 34 mm. The atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of Hg. Find the absolute pressure of steam.

1. A vessel of cylindrical shape is 50 cm in diameter and 75 cm high. It contains 4 kg of a gas. the pressure measured with manometer indicates 620 mm of Hg above atmosphere when barometer reads 760 mm of Hg. Determine:

(i) The absolute pressure of the gas in the vessel in bar.

(ii) Specific volume and density of the gas.

2. In a pipe line the pressure of gas is measured with a mercury manometer having one limb open to the atmosphere (as shown in figure). If the difference in the height of mercury in the two limbs is 550 mm, calculate the gas pressure.

Given : Barometer reading = 761 mm of Hg

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.79 m/s²

Density of mercury = 13640 kg/m³.

3. A U-tube mercury manometer with one arm open to atmosphere is used to measure pressure in a steam pipe. The level of mercury in open arm is 97.5 mm greater than that in the arm connected to the pipe condenses in the manometer arm connected to the pipe. The height of this column is 34 mm. The atmospheric pressure is 760 mm of Hg. Find the absolute pressure of steam.

4. A U-tube manometer is connected to a gas pipe. The level of the liquid in the manometer arm open to the atmosphere is 170 mm lower than the level of the liquid in the arm connected to the gas pipe. The liquid in the manometer has specific gravity of 0.8. Find the absolute pressure of the gas if the manometer reads 760 mm of Hg.

5. Estimate the mass of a piston that can be supported by a gas entrapped under the piston in a 200 mm diameter vertical cylinder when a manometer indicates a difference of 117 mm of Hg column for the gas pressure.
