- Consider oil flowing through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 3 liter/s. There are two sections of the pipe with diameters 10 cm and 7 cm and the two sections are connected by a smooth reducing section as shown in the schematic. We use a manometer with glycerin as the manometer fluid (with glycerin density of Pglycerin 1,260 kg/m³) to measure the pressure difference between the two pipe sections. Assume that frictional effects are negligible and consider specific gravity of oil as SGoil = 0.76. What is the manometer reading, h (i.e. differential height of glycerin between the two arms of the manometer)? 10 cm I h T 7 cm-arrow_forwardConsider the U-tube manometer shown in the figure. Both ends of the U-tube manometer is open to atmospheric pressure. The left and right arm of the manometer has a cross-sectional area A1 = 8 cm2 and A1 = 4 cm2, respectively. The left figure illustrates the U-tube when mercury (ρHg =13.6 g/cm3) is poured into it. The right figure shows the U-tube manometer when 90.0 g of water is poured in the right arm.

On one side of the tube, oil (SG=1.4) was trapped, a bubble formed, and the fluid inside was stationary. The volume of the oil was 0.6 in^3 and the volume of the air was 0.2 in^3. Now, the oil and bubble are removed. The pressure change across the air bubble is negligible and any curvature on the bubble surface can be neglected in calculating the volumes.
