A gas cylinder is connected to a manometer that contains water. The other end of the manometer is open to the atmosphere, which
in Flagstaff is 79 kPa absolute. Draw a sketch of the problem and determine the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder if the manometer is reading 13 in H2O. Assume the water in the manometer is at 20 °C
1 answer:
Answer: the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa
Explanation:
Given that;
patm = 79 kPa, h = 13 in of H₂O,
A sketch of the problem is uploaded along this answer.
Now
pA = patm + 13 in of H₂O ( h × density × g )
pA= 79 + (13 × 0.0254 × 9.8 × 1000/1000)
pA = 82.23596 kPa
the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

Answer:
The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is 120.4°C and after prolonged service is 110.8°C
Explanation:
The properties of water at 100°C and 1 atm are:
pL = 957.9 kg/m³
pV = 0.596 kg/m³
ΔHL = 2257 kJ/kg
CpL = 4.217 kJ/kg K
uL = 279x10⁻⁶Ns/m²
KL = 0.68 W/m K
σ = 58.9x10³N/m
When the water boils on the surface its heat flux is:
For copper-water, the properties are:
Cfg = 0.0128
The heat flux is:
qn = 0.9 * 18703.42 = 16833.078 W/m²
The tube surface temperature immediately after installation is:
Tinst = 100 + 20.4 = 120.4°C
For rough surfaces, Cfg = 0.0068. Using the same equation:
ΔT = 10.8°C
The tube surface temperature after prolonged service is:
Tprolo = 100 + 10.8 = 110.8°C
