A vacuum gage attached to a power plant condenser gives a reading of 27.86 in. of mercury. The surrounding atmospheric pressure

is 14.66 lbf/in. Determine the absolute pressure inside the condenser, in lbf/in. The density of mercury is 848 lb/ft and the acceleration of gravity is g = 32.0 ft/s?.

Answer:

absolute pressure =  1.07 lbft/in^2

Explanation:

given data:

vaccum gauge reading h = 27.86 inch = 2.32 ft

we know that

gauge pressure p is given as

p = \rho gh

p = 848 \ lb/ft^3 * 32 \ ft/s^2 *2.32 ft  = 62955.52 \ lbft/s^2 * 1/ft^2

we know that  1\  lb ft\s^2 = \frac{1}{32.174}\  lbft

1 ft = 12 inch

therefore p = 62955.52 * \frac{1}{32.174} * \frac{1}{12^2}\ lbf/in^2

               p = 13.59\  lbft/in^2

P_{atm} = 14.66\  lbf/in^2

so absolute pressure = P_{atm} - p

                                   = 14.66 - 13.59 = 1.07 lbft/in^2
