Small differences in gas pressures are commonly measured with a micro-manometer of the type illustrated
in Fig. (3). This device consists of two large reservoirs each having a cross sectional area A, which are filled
with a liquid having a specific weight Y1 and connected by a U-tube of cross-sectional area A, containing a
liquid of specific weight y2. When a differential gas pressure, P, - P2 , is applied, a differential reading, h,
develops. It is desired to have this reading sufficiently large (so that it can be easily read) for small pressure
At
differentials. Determine the relationship between h and P1
P, when the area ratio
is small, and show
Ar
that the differential reading, h, can be magnified by making the difference in specific weights, Y2 - Y1 ,
small. Assume that initially (with P = 2P2).
