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

Explanation:
a) isentropic efficiency = 84.905%
b) rate of entropy generation = .341 kj/(kg.k)
The Isentropic efficiency of a turbine is a comparison of the actual power output with the Isentropic case.
Entropy can be defined as the thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
