A "dead-weight" pressure testing machine as shown in Fig. Q5b is used to measure the accuracy of a Bourdon pressure gauge. If the weight and piston together weigh 200 N and the piston diameter is 2.5 cm, find the percentage error of the Bourdon pressure gauge if it indicates a pressure of 350 kPa.

Work and Heat Transfer

It is generally related to thermal engineering which tells about the use, creation, conversion and transfer of heat energy between the systems. It is also considered that to transfer heat from one source to another, transfer of masses is also required. There are various mechanisms by which, transfer of heat takes place i.e. thermal conduction, convection, radiation or by change of phase. All these mechanisms have their own specific features which sometimes occur simultaneously within the same system.
