A U-tube manometer contains two liquids. The first is benzene and the second is water. The differential pressure measures, that is the difference in height between the two liquid interfaces is 36.3 cm. Determine the differential pressure as measured across the manometer tubes in kPa. Please please show the steps how this problem is done. Ill give the most points to the best answer and best steps shown.

Question 6 Gauge pressure is the difference between actual pressure (or absolute pressure) at a point of a system, and atmospheric pressure. Essentially it is pressure within a fluid, either liquid or a gas, at depth. Car tyre pressure is reported as gauge pressure, since the compressed air inside the tyre is a fluid, and is the difference between actual pressure of the tyre and atmospheric pressure. Answer the following questions: a) What is the absolute pressure in the tyre,...

An inert gas has a weight density of 0.066 lb/ft^3 and its pressure is to be measured with a manometer. Liquids available for the manometer are water (62.4 lb/ft^3), oil (specific gravity 0.82) and mercury (specific gravity 13.57) . If the pressure range is from 0-10 psi, which liquid would you use, Explain Why?

The speed and pressure of water flowing through a series of pipes is measured. At one location, the speed is measured to be 2.00 m/s and the pressure is measured to be 150 kPa. At a second location, the speed is measured to be 1.50 m/s and the pressure is measured to be 200 kPa. What is the change of height between the two locations, in meters?

Air at 98 kPa and 30.6°C flows upward through a 6-cm-diameter inclined duct at a rate of 87 L/s. The duct diameter is then reduced to 4 cm through a reducer. The pressure change across the reducer is measured by a water manometer. The elevation difference between the two points on the pipe where the two arms of the manometer are attached is 0.20 m. Determine the differential height between the fluid levels of the two arms of the manometer....

PLEASE DO NOT OMIT STEPS, EXPLAIN IT DETAILED MIND PLEASE, ALSO WRITE BIG SO THAT I CAN LOOK AT IT AS I CAN CONFUSE THANK YOU VERY MUCH! APART OF RESOLVING IT IF YOU CAN SAY ME BECAUSE WHEN DOING THE JOURNEY OF THE PRESSURE OF THE DUCT TOWARDS THE ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE, IS THE PRESSURE OF THE AIR DESPRECIATED? When measuring small temperature differences with a manometer, one of its branches is inclined, to improve the accuracy of the measurement....
