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

What is the braks mean effictive pressure?
OverLord2011 [107]

Engine cylinder pressure

<u>Explanation:</u>

  1. Brake mean effective pressure is a method to calculate  the engine cylinder pressure which  would give the measured brake horsepower. Brake mean effective pressure is used to identify engine efficiency regardless of capacity or engine speed.
  2. It is used to identify engine efficiency.It is measured by means of transducers or pressure gauges.
  3. It is the measure of engine capacity to do work.

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The differences are listed below

Explanation:

The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:

In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.

In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.

In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.

Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.

An aluminum alloy tube with an outside diameter of 3.50 in. and a wall thickness of 0.30 in. is used as a 14 ft long column. Ass
slega [8]

Answer:

slenderness ratio = 147.8

buckling load = 13.62 kips

Explanation:

Given data:

outside diameter is 3.50 inc

wall thickness 0.30 inc

length of column is 14 ft

E = 10,000 ksi

moment of inertia = \frac{\pi}{64 (D_O^2 -D_i^2)}

I = \frac{\pi}{64}(3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.894 in^4

Area = \frac{\pi}{4} (3.5^2 -2.9^2) = 3.015 in^2

radius = \sqrt{\frac{I}{A}}

r = \sqrt{\frac{3.894}{3.015}

r = 1.136 in

slenderness ratio = \frac{L}{r}

                              = \frac{14 *12}{1.136} = 147.8

buckling load = P_cr = \frac{\pi^2 EI}}{l^2}

P_{cr} = \frac{\pi^2 *10,000*3.844}{( 14\times 12)^2}

P_{cr} = 13.62 kips
