Pressure Vessels

The term pressure vessel refers to a closed container that contains gas or liquid at a different pressure than environment pressure. The pressure vessels have a wide scale of applications in our day-to-day lives and other industrial places. Some common examples of pressure vessels are gas cylinders, autoclaves, compressor vessels, etc.

Question

A manometer is used to measure the pressure of a
gas in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of
0.85, and the manometer column height is 55 cm, as
shown in Fig. 1-56. If the local atmospheric pressure
is 96 kPa, determine the absolute pressure within the
tank.
