1. What volume of mercury (SG= 13.54) in liters would weigh the same as 0.020m³ of fuel oil, which has a specific weight of 9.42kN/m³? a. 1.42 b. 2.42 c. 3.42 d. 4.42 2. A pump delivers 75gpm of water (SG=0.993) to a vertical cylindrical tank 10ft in diameter and 10ft high. Find the following: a. The mass flow rate of water in lbm/min. 622 b. The time required to fill the tank in minutes. 78.3 3. Change the following to the desired temperature unit. a. 68°F to °C and Kelvin b. 25°C to F and Rankine c. -40°F to Kelvin 4. A pollution engineer in one of his studies about industrial solvent proposes a new temperature scale base on 100°X and 250°X as the freezing and boiling point of water at normal barometric condition, respectively. Determine the absolute temperature of water in Rankine when his thermometer reads 60⁰X. 5. A new temperature scale is desired with a freezing point of water at 0ºX and the boiling point at 1000 X. If this scale reads 500ºX, determine the absolute temperature in Kelvin and Rankine.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
