Differential Manometer

1.Introduction

  • Differential manometers are used to measure the difference of pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes. There are two types of differential manometers.
            1. U-tube upright differential manometer
            2. U-tube inverted differential manometer
1.2  U-tube Upright Differential Manometer
  • It is used to measure pressure difference at two points in a pipe or between two pipes at different levels.
Case 1 - U-tube upright differential manometer connected at two points in a pipe at same level
  • The construction and arrangement of a manometer connected at two different points, A and B, of a pipe is shown in figure 1

                             Fig.1U-tube upright differential manometer
  
Let,         
ρ1 = density of liquid flowing in the pipeline
ρ2 = density of manometer liquid (assume mercury)
S = Specific gravity of liquid for which pressure has to be determined
S1 = Specific gravity of manometer liquid
hA be the pressure in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point A
hB be the pressure in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point B
h is the distance of mercury level in the right limb from the datum line XX
h1 is the height of manometer liquid level in the right limb from the centre of pipe at point B.









Case 2 - U-tube upright differential manometer connected between two pipes at different levels and carrying different fluids

Fig. 2 Vertical differential manometer (pressure difference between two pipes)

Let,         
S1 = Specific gravity of liquid in pipe A
S2 = Specific gravity of liquid in pipe B
S = Specific gravity of manometer liquid
hA be the pressure head in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point A
hB be the pressure head in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point B
h is the distance of mercury level in the right limb from the datum line XX
h1 is the height of manometer liquid level in the left limb from the from the datum line XX
h2 is the height of manometer liquid level in the right limb from the from the centre of pipe at point B.








2  U-tube Inverted Differential Manometer
  • In such types of manometers light fluids for e.g.oil is used as manometer fluid.
  • In the previous derivation, the term (hS) is added, but here in the left and right limb equations, it is necessary to subtract (hS) term.


Fig. 3 Inverted differential manometer

Let,         
S1 = Specific gravity of liquid in pipe A
S2 = Specific gravity of liquid in pipe B
S = Specific gravity of manometer liquid
hA be the pressure head in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point A
hB be the pressure head in terms of height of fluid in the pipe at point B
h is the distance of manometer liquid level in the right limb from the datum line XX
h1 is the height of manometer liquid level in the left limb from the from the datum line XX
h2 is the height of manometer liquid level in the right limb from the from the centre of pipe at point B

SURFACE TENSION

SURFACE TENSION:- Surface tension is a physical phenomenon that refers to the force that acts on the surface of a liquid and causes it to form a distinct surface. It is the result of the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid and is responsible for many of the unique properties of liquids, such as their ability to form drops and bubbles.  In this article, we will discuss the definition, causes, measurement, and applications of Surface tension. Definition: Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length along the interface between two immiscible liquids or between a liquid and a gas. It is represented by the symbol γ (gamma) and is measured in units of force per unit length, such as newtons per meter (N/m) or dynes per centimeter (dyn/cm). Causes: Surface tension is caused by the intermolecular forces between the molecules of the liquid. These forces can be attractive or repulsive and are related to the type and strength of the intermolecular inte...

Hydraulic Jack

Hydraulic Jack A hydraulic jack is a device used to lift heavy objects by applying force through a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic jacks are commonly used in garages, auto repair shops, and manufacturing plants to lift cars, trucks, and heavy machinery. In this article, we will discuss the working principle, components, types, advantages, and disadvantages of hydraulic jacks. Working Principle: The working principle of a hydraulic jack is based on Pascal's law, which states that "pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions without loss." A hydraulic jack consists of two cylinders: the first one is called the reservoir, which contains hydraulic fluid, and the second one is the lifting cylinder, which has a piston and a plunger. When force is applied to the plunger, it pushes the piston, which compresses the hydraulic fluid in the lifting cylinder.  This increases the pressure of the fluid, which exerts a force on the object being lifted. The...

Fluid Mechanics "Centrifugal Pumps"

Centrifugal Pumps : we'll just cover certain sections of it, it's on your course syllabus. But we'll start off looking at centrifugal pumps .  A very common type of pump. Swimming pool pumps, spa pumps, all kinds of pumps.  Quite a few of them are centrifugal pumps. I thought so. Okay,sometime this quarter, I don't think this early, you're going to run a test on a centrifugal pump in the fluids lab.  And from that test you're going to put together some performance curves for our centrifugal pump.   So, this is how we  test a centrifugal pump.  I'll go through the procedure that we use in our fluids lab.  We have a pump in a circuit with water in it, from a big reservoir.  The water is pumped through here, it goes around, back into the big reservoir.  We have flow meters in the test setup so we know what the flow rate Q is. We have pressure gauges at points one and two. A centrifugal pump is a radial type of a pump.  There's an impeller ...
