A gas cylinder is connected to a manometer that contains water. The other end of the manometer is open to the atmosphere, which in Flagstaff is 79 kPa absolute. Draw a sketch of the problem and determine the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder if the manometer is reading 13 in H2O. Assume the water in the manometer is at 20 °C

the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

Explanation:

Given that;

patm = 79 kPa, h = 13 in of H₂O,

A sketch of the problem is uploaded along this answer.

Now

pA = patm + 13 in of H₂O ( h × density × g )

pA= 79 + (13 × 0.0254 × 9.8 × 1000/1000)

pA = 82.23596 kPa

the absolute static pressure in the gas cylinder is 82.23596 kPa

answer:

the answer is d
