Quito, Ecuador, has an average altitude of 9350 ft. On a standardday, pressure gage A in a laboratory experiment reads63 kPa and gage B reads 105 kPa. Express these readings ingage pressure or vacuum pressure, whichever is appropriate.
2. Convert the following readings of pressure to kPa absolute, assuming that the barometer reads 760 mm Hg: (a) 90 cm Hg gage; (b) 40 cm Hg vacuum; (c) 100 psig; (d) 8 in.Hg vacuum, and (e) 76 in. Hg gage.
3. If the barometer reads 735 mmHg, determine what absolute pressure ,in bars,is
equivalent to a vacuum of 280mmHg within a system.Neglect the effect of
temperature and density of mercury.
