Apressure gage connected to a tank reads 50 psi at a location where the barometric reading is 29.1 inches hg. determine the absolute pressure in the tank (hint: density of water 1000 kg/m^3 or 62.4 lbm/ft^3).

Absolute pressure , P(abs)= 433.31 KPa

Explanation:

Given that

Gauge pressure P(gauge)=  50 psi

We know that barometer reads atmospheric pressure

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 29.1 inches of Hg

We know that

1 psi = 6.89 KPa

So 50 psi = 6.89 x 50 KPa

P(gauge)=  50 psi =344.72 KPa

We know that

1 inch = 0.0254 m

29.1 inches = 0.739 m

Atmospheric pressure P(atm) = 0.739 m of Hg

We know that density of Hg =

P = ρ g h

P(atm) = 13.6 x 1000 x 9.81 x 0.739 Pa

P(atm) = 13.6  x 9.81 x 0.739 KPa

P(atm) =98.54 KPa

Now

Absolute pressure = Gauge pressure + Atmospheric pressure

P(abs)=P(gauge) + P(atm)

P(abs)= 344.72 KPa + 98.54 KPa

P(abs)= 433.31 KPa
