Data:
Manometer reading (h) = 26 mm Hg = 0.026 m Hg
Density of mercury (ρm) = 13.6 gm/cc
Density of water = 1 gm/cc
Molecular weight of air (MW) = 28.8
Temperature of air = 20 o C = 293 K
R = 8314 J/(kmol.K)
Formulae:
For simple U - tube manometer,
P1 - P2 = Δp = (ρm - ρ)gh.
Ideal Gas law
PV = n RT
Molal density = n/V = P/(RT)
Mass density (ρ) = Molecular weight x molal density
Calculations:
(a) Water is flowing through the pipe:
Δp = (ρm - ρ)gh = (13600 - 1000) x 9.812 x 0.026 = 3214.4 N/m2
(b) Air at atmospheric pressure and 20oC is flowing in the pipe:
ρ = 28.8 x 101325/(8314 x 293) = 1.2 kg/m3
