Chapter 3, Problem 3.45P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Plot the calibration curve of height of oil versus gauge pressure. Estimate the height of oil to a gauge reading of 68 kPa and calculate the mass of oil in the tank corresponding to this height.

Concept introduction:

It is given that oil is stored in a closed tank. The tank is 10 m high, 16 m in diameter. The oil has a specific gravity of 0.92.

In addition, amount of oil in the tank can be determined from gauge pressure,

The exerted by a fluid column can be calculated as,

Pressure = h ρ g

Where, h = height of the fluid, ρ = density of the fluid

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Calculate the actual height of the oil for the given case.
