A pressure gage connected to a tank reads 55 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 72.1 cmHg. The density of mercury is 13,600 kg/m3 . Calculate the absolute pressure in the tank.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Gauge Pressure of a tank is

[tex]P_{gauge}=55\ kPa[/tex]

at that place atmospheric Pressure is  [tex]h=72.1\ cm\ of\ Hg[/tex]

Density of mercury [tex]\rho _{Hg}=13600\ kg/m^3[/tex]

Atmospheric Pressure in kPa is given by

[tex]P_{atm}=\rho _{Hg}\times g\times h[/tex]  

[tex]P_{atm}=13600\times 9.8\times 0.721[/tex]

[tex]P_{atm}=96.09\ kPa[/tex]

and Absolute Pressure is summation of gauge pressure and atmospheric Pressure

[tex]P_{abs}=P_{gauge}+P_{atm}[/tex]

[tex]P_{abs}=55+96.09=151.09\ kPa[/tex]
