1.40. The figure 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. Using data
on the diagram, determine the absolute pressures inside tank A and tank B, each in bars. The
atmospheric pressure surrounding tank B is 101 kPa. The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2.
1.44. Determine the absolute pressure exerted on an object submerged 1000 m below the surface of
the sea, in bars. The density of seawater is 1020 kg/m3 and the acceleration of gravity is g = 9.7
m/s2. The local atmospheric pressure is 0.98 bar.
1.53. Convert the following temperatures from °F to °C: (a) 70°F, (b) 0°F, (c) -30°F, (d) 500°F, (e)
212°F, (f) -459.67°F. Convert each temperature to the Rankine scale.
1.59. As shown in Fig. P1.59, water vapor flows through a valve and enters a turbine. The turbine
drives an electrical generator. Mass exits the turbine at a rate of 10,000 kg/h. Using data from the
figure as needed.
(a) convert the rate of mass flow to kg/s.
(b) express p2 in MPa.
(c) express T1 in K.
(d) express p1 in bars.
T1 = 420°C p2 = 40 bars
p1 = 5000 kPa
10,000 kg/h
