Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fluid system has a differential manometer connected to two points with pressures of 300 kPa and 150 kPa. Calculate the height of the liquid column if the liquid's density is 12 g/cm³.
💡 Hint: Don’t forget to convert your units properly!
In an isothermal process, a differential manometer connected to a gas line reads 400 kPa and another point 200 kPa. Explain how to determine the height of gas represented in this manometer.
💡 Hint: Remember the principles of ideal gas behavior.
