Question
A pipeline conveys benzene from one point to the other. A gauge attached to line reads 150
kPa. It is desired to check the gauge reading with benzene –over-mercury U-tube manometer.
Determine the expected height difference of the mercury in the manometer; if on one end
the manometer is open to the atmosphere and on the other end where the gauge pressure is
connected there is a 3 cm height of benzene above the mercury meniscus. (benzene density
is 876 kg/m3 and mercury 13600 kg/m3
)
