A U-tube manometer with one arm open to atmosphere is used to measure the pressure of kerosene vapour passing in a pipe. Mercury used gives height of the column in the arm open to atmosphere greater than 10 cm of mercury level in the arm connected to kerosene pipe. There is a condensation of kerosene vapour on mercury column of 5.1 cm height. If the atmospheric pressure is 75.5 cm of mercury, find the absolute pressure in kPa. Assume specific gravity of kerosene as 0.8 and that of mercury as 13.6.

Transcribed Image Text:A U-tube manometer with one arm open to
atmosphere is used to measure the pressure of
kerosene vapour passing in a pipe. Mercury
used gives height of the column in the arm open
to atmosphere greater than 10 cm of mercury
level in the arm connected to kerosene pipe.
There is a condensation of kerosene vapour on
mercury column of 5.1
atmospheric pressure is 75.5 cm of mercury,
find the absolute pressure in kPa. Assume
cm height. If the
specific gravity of kerosene as 0.8 and that of
mercury as 13.6.
