 Differential Manometer (Numericals 2):

Q 1: A piezometer was connected to a pipe to measure the pressure of water. The rise of water level in piezometer was 150 mm. Calculate the pressure of water. 
 
[Ans = 1471.5 N/m2]


Q 2: Pressure in a pipe carrying oil (Specific Gravity 0.92) is 20 kN/m2. A piezometer is connected to the pipe. Find the rise of liquid level in the piezometer. 

[Ans = 2.21 m]

Q 3: A U-tube manometer is connected to a pipe for measuring the pressure of oil (Specific gravity 0.92) flowing in the pipeline. Mercury (Specific gravity 13.6) is used as manometer liquid and the difference of mercury level in the two limbs is 200 mm. The centre of pipe is 80 mm below the level of mercury in the right limb. Determine the pressure in the pipeline and the head.  

[Ans: 23.55 kN/m2]

Q 4: The pressure of water in a domestic supply line was measured using manometer shown in the figure. Derive the equation for head and determine the pressure.  

 [Ans: h= 1.99 m, p = 19.52 kN/m2]

Q 5: Negative pressure in a water pipe was measured using U-tube manometer containing mercury (Specific gravity 13.6). The left limb was connected to the water pipe and right limb was exposed to the atmosphere. Height of water upto centre of pipe in the left limb was 30 mm. Difference between the mercury levels in the two limbs was 50 mm. Determine the vacuum pressure in the pipe and also derive the equation used.

[Ans: h= -0.710 m, p = -6.965 kN/m2]


Q 6: A vertical column micro manometer is connected to a pipe containing oil of specific gravity 0.92. The ratio of area of reservoir to that of vertical column is 150. Calculate the oil pressure in the pipe. 

[Ans: h= 7.98 m, p = 78.28 kN/m2]



Q 7: Difference in pressure in pipe at two points A and B was measured using a differential manometer. The specific gravity of oil in the pipe is 0.85. If the difference in the mercury level in the two limbs is 200 mm, calculate the pressure difference.

[Ans: h= 2.55 m, p = 25.01 kN/m2]

Q 8: Pressure difference in a water pipe at two points A and B was measured using a differential manometer. If the difference in the mercury level in the two limbs is 50 mm, calculate the pressure difference between two points.

 [Ans: h= 0.63 m, p = 6.18 kN/m2]

Q 9: A U-tube differential manometer is connected to two pipes at A and B. Pipe A Contains oil of Specific Gravity 0.92 and pipe B is carrying water. If the pressure at point A is 125 kN/m2 find the pressure at point B.

 [Ans: h= -3.098 m, p = 30.39 kN/m2]



Q 10: An inverted tube differential manometer having an oil of specific gravity 0.9 is connected to two different pipes carrying water under pressure. Determine the pressure in the pipe B. The pressure in pipe A is 2 m of water.

 [Ans: h= 1.88 m, p = 18.44 kN/m2]

Heat Engine

Heat Engine : (Power Plant of an Automobile)  A device which is used to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy is called an Engine . The heat energy produced by burning of the fuel is converted into mechanical power, then it is called a Heat Engine.  Heat engines are classified into two types.  1.External Combustion Engine  2.Internal Combustion Engine  1. External Combustion Engine  An external combustion engine is a Heat engine where a working fluid, is heated by combustion in an external source like Boiler. The fluid then, by expanding and acting on the mechanism of the engine, produces motion and usable work. The combustion process takes place outside the mechanical engine system.   Eg. Steam Engines, Ancient Marine Engines  2.Internal Combustion Engine  An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a Heat engine where the combustion of a fuel and air occurs inside the engine combustion chamber that is an integral part of an engine.  ENGINE CLASSIFICATION Internal combustion e

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 interact
