To determine The barometer reading at the observation deck 500 ft above the base. Explanation Write the expression to determine the pressure difference between base ( p b ) and observation deck ( P o d ) . p b − p o d = γ a i r H (I) Here, specific weight of the water is γ a i r and height of the monument is H . Write the expression to determine the pressure difference between base ( p b ) and observation deck ( P o d ) . p b − p o d = γ Hg h Hg − γ Hg h od (II) Here, specific weight of the mercury is γ Hg and barometer reading is h Hg Conclusion: Substitute 7.65 × 10 − 2 lb / ft 3 for γ a i r and 500 ft for H in Equation (I)

Moist air initially at T₁ = 140°C, p₁ = 4 bar, and p₁ = 50% is contained in a 2.0-m³ closed, rigid tank. The tank contents are cooled to T₂ 35°C. Step 1 Determine the temperature at which condensation begins, in °C.

Air at T₁ = 24°C, p₁ = 1 bar, 50% relative humidity enters an insulated chamber operating at steady state with a mass flow rate of 3 kg/min and mixes with a saturated moist air stream entering at T2=7°C, p₂ = 1 bar. A single mixed stream exits at T3-17°C, p3=1 bar. Neglect kinetic and potential energy effects
