An on-farm diesel fuel tank is on a stand 5 feet above the ground. the tank is vented to the atmosphere (the air in the tank is at atmospheric pressure). if the diesel level in the tank is 2.1 feet above the release point. if the density of diesel is 6.98 pounds/gallon, what is the gauge pressure of the fuel at the nozzle? what is the absolute pressure?

gauge pressure = psi

absolute pressure = psi

Pg= 0.766 psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

Explanation:

Given

h= 2.1 ft

1 ft = 0.3048 m

2.1 ft = 0.64 m

h= 0.64 m

ρ=6.98  pounds/gallon

1 pounds/gallon = 119.82 kg/m³

ρ = 825.6 kg/m³

The gauge pressure Pg

Pg= ρ g h

Pg=  825.6  x 10 x 0.64     ( take g =10 m/s²)

Pg= 5283.84 Pa

We know that

1 Pa= 0.000145 psi

Pg= 0.766 psi

Lets take atmospheric pressure Patm

Patm= 100 KPa

Pg= 5.283 KPa

Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure

Pabs= 100 + 5.283

Pabs= 105.283 KPa

We know that

1 KPa= 0.145 Psi

Pabs= 15.27 psi

he . if i may ask what i your question exactly?

explanation:

co2reflects heat radiation back to earth buning coal and oil emits co2 globe warms
