CH ENGR 101A Quiz: 2017 Homework 1
Document Summary
Mean free path: assume that air viscosity is constant at 1. 80e-5 n s/m2, gas constant, r = 287 j/ (kg k) An (inverted) u-tube manometer containing oil (carbon tetrachloride, sg = 0. 8) is located between two reservoirs as shown in the following figure: The reservoir on the left, which contains carbon tetrachloride, is closed and pressurized to 8 psi. The reservoir on the right contains water and is open to the atmosphere. With the given data, determine the depth of water, h, (in ft) in the water (right side) reservoir. For an atmospheric pressure of 101 kpa (abs) determine the heights of the fluid columns in barometers containing one of the following liquids: (a) mercury, (b) water, and (c) ethyl alcohol. Calculate the heights including the effect of vapor pressure, and compare the results with those obtained neglecting vapor pressure.
