Question
A gas holder is sited at the foot of a hill and contains gas at an absolute pressure
of 103,000 N/m2 . If the atmospheric pressure is 101,500 N/m², calculate the gauge
pressure in head of water. The gas holder supplies gas through a main pipeline
whose highest point is 150 m above the gas holder. What is the gauge pressure
at this point? Take density of air as 1.21 kg/m3 and density of gas as 0.56 kg/m3
150 m
