A fluid of specific gravity 0.8 is flowing in a pipe. The pressure drop across a flow secti between 1 and 2 is measured by a differential manometer as shown in the figure below The manometric fluid is mercury (S = 13.6). The pressure drop is Fluid (5-0.8) 2 m 0.5 m He Assume density of water is 1000 kg/m³ and g = 9.81 m/s².
The Venturi meter shown in the sketch below, contracts the flow down to one quarter of its original area. Cold air at 0 deg C flows in the pipe through the Venturi meter. The velocity of the air upstream of the Venturi meter is equal to 40 ft/s and the pressure at the same point is equal to 30 psia. What is the manometer reading if the fluid of the manometer is water with density 1000 kg/m3 . Assume that the air behaves as an ideal gas with molecular weight equal to Mw=29 kg/kmol and constant density evaluated at upstream conditions. Use Bernoulli's equation for your calculations. please respond asap!

A manometer consists of a tube of 0.5 inch in the inner diameter and an amount of mercury (SG Hg =13.55). On one side of the tube, oil (SG=1.4) was trapped, a bubble formed, and the fluid inside was stationary. The volume of the oil was 0.6 in^3 and the volume of the air was 0.2 in^3. Now, the oil and bubble are removed. The pressure change across the air bubble is negligible and any curvature on the bubble surface can be neglected in calculating the volumes. Determine how much the mercury height rises (i.e. h 4 -h 2 ).
