A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tanlc The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differentialhe

ight between the two arms of the manometer is 28 in. If the local atmospheric pressure is 127 psia, determine theabsolute pressure in the tank for the cases of the manometer arm with the (a) higher and (b) lower fluid level beingattached to the tank.

Answer:

(a) 11.437 psia

(b) 13.963 psia

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by a fluid can be estimated by multiplying the density of the fluid, acceleration due to gravity and the depth of the fluid. To determine the fluid density, we have:

fluid density = specific gravity * density of water = 1.25 * 62.4 lbm/ft^3 = 78 lbm/ft^3

height = 28 in * (1 ft/12 in) = 2.33 ft

acceleration due to gravity = 32.174 ft/s^2

The change in pressure = fluid density*acceleration due to gravity*height = 78*32.174*(28/12) = 5855.668 lbm*ft/(s^2 * ft^2) = 5855.668 lbf/ft^2

The we convert from lbf/ft^2 to psi:

(5855.668/32.174)*0.00694 psi = 1.263 psi

(a) pressure = atmospheric pressure - change in pressure = 12.7 - 1.263 = 11.437 psia

(b) pressure = atmospheric pressure + change in pressure = 12.7 + 1.263 = 13.963 psia

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Explanation:

It wouldn't work because the wind energy she would be collecting would actually come from the car engine.

The relative wind velocity observed from a moving vehicle is the sum of the actual wind velocity and the velovity of the vehicle.

u' = u + v

While running a car will generate a rather high wind velocity, and increase the power generated by a wind turbine, the turbine would only be able to convert part of the wind energy into electricity while adding a lot of drag. In the end, it would generate less energy that what the drag casuses the car to waste to move the turbine.

Regenerative braking uses an electric generator connected to the wheel axle to recover part of the kinetic energy eliminated when one brakes the vehicle. Normal brakes dissipate this energy as heat, a regenerative brake uses it to recharge a batttery. Note that is is a fraction of the energy that is recovered, not all of it.

A "regenerative accelerator" makes no sense. Braking is taking kinetic energy out of the vehicle, while accelerating is adding kinetic energy to it. Cars accelerate using the power from their engines.
