Construct a vertical U-tube manometer to measure the pressure difference across a flow section. Explain in detailed what is the theory used and write an equation to relate the pressure difference to the difference in liquid level. Suggest TWO techniques to improve the sensitivity of the vertical U-tube manometer that you constructed. Justify your suggestion with the aid of diagrams and equations.

If the specific weight of glycerin is 79.2 ft/lb³, what suction pressured is required to raise the glycerin 9 in vertically in a ½ diameter tube? The answer was already given, please show the solution. Answer: -0.412 psi
A gasoline line is connected to a pressure gauge through a double U-shaped manometer, as shown from Figure 1. a) If the gauge pressure reading is 370 kPa, determine the gauge pressure of the gasoline (kPa). b) If the gauge pressure reading is 240 kPa, determine the gauge pressure of the gasoline (kPa). c) Indicate the pressure difference between the measured pressure and the calculated pressure. Assumptions: 1 - All liquids are incompressible. 2 - The effect of the air column on the pressure is insignificant. Properties: The specific gravities (GE) or also called the relative density (DR) of the oil, mercury and gasoline are 0.79; 13.6 and 0.70; respectively. Consider the density of water ρH O = 1000 kg/m and gravity as g = 9.81 m/s². Tip: Starting with the pressure indicated by the pressure gauge and moving along the tube adding (as we go down) or subtracting (as we go up) the ρgh terms until we get to the tube of gasoline, and set the result equal to P .
