‘Thermodynamics Tutor Prepared by Dr. B.Sreenivas ‘Tutorial sheet # 1.1 1. Convert the following readings of pressure to kPa, assuming that the barometer reads 760 mmHg: (@) 90cmHg gauge (b) 40.em Hg Vacuum (e) 12 mH,0 gauge (6) 3.1 bar 'A.30 m high vertical column ofa fuid of density 1878 kp/m? exists ina place where = 9.65 mvs”. What isthe pressure at the base ofthe column? 3, Assume thatthe pressure p and the specific volume v ofthe atmosphere are related according tothe equ psi =2.3 x 108, where p is in Nim abs and v is in m’/kg. The acceleration due to gravity is constant at 9.81 ‘ws, What is the depth of atmosphere necessary to produce a pressure of 1.0132 bar atthe earth's surface? Consider the atmosphere asa fluid column. (Hint: Fig 3) 4. The pressure of steam flowing in pipe line is measured with a mercury manometer shown in Fig. 1. Some ‘steam condenses into water. Estimate the steam pressure in KPa. Take the density of mercury as 13.6x 10? kg/m’, density of water a5 10°kg/m’, the barometer reading as 76.1 cm Hg, and g as 9.806 ms", '5. A vacuurn gauge mounted on a condenser reads 0,66 m Hg. What is the absolute pressure in the condenser in ‘kPa when the atmospheric pressure is 101.3 KPa? 6. The basic barometer can be used to measure the height ofa building. Ifthe barometric readings a the top and at the bottom of a building are 730 and 760 mm Hg respectively. Determine the height ofthe building. Assume an average air density of 1.18 kg/m. 17. The forced draught fan supplies air to furnace of the boiler at draught of 30 mm of water. Calculate the absolute pressure of air supply ifthe barometer reads 760 mm Hg in bar and KPa. 18. The pressure of gas in a pipe line is measured with a mercury manometer having one limb open to the atmosphere (Fig.2). If the difference inthe height of mercury in the two limbs is $62 mm, calculate the gas pressure. The Barometer reads 761 mm Hg, the acceleration due to gravity is 9.79 mis*, and the density of mercury is 13,640 kgm’, 9. A turbine is supplied with steam a a gauge pressure of 4 MPa. After expansion in the turbine the steam flows into « condenser which is maintained at a vacuum of 710 mm Hg, The barometric pressure is 772, mm Hig Express the inlet and exhaust steam pressures in pascal (absolut). Take the density of mercury as 13.6 « 10? kg/m’ 10. Acceleration is sometimes measured in g's, or multiples of the standard acceleration of gravity Determine the ‘et upward force that an astronaut whose mass is 68kg experiences ifthe acceleration on lift-off s 10's.
