There is nitrogen gas in a pressurized tank. A manometer measures the pressure using two immiscible fluids (A and B), one end is open to the atmosphere. The density of fluid A is 2400 kg/m^3 and fluid B is 1600 kg/m^3. The height of fluid A is equal on either side of the manometer. Fluid B rises 1m above fluid A. Atmospheric pressure is 97 kPA. Gravity is 9.81 m/s^2.  a.) What are two assumptions needed for the problem? b.) Write a force balance for the problem and find the pressure of nitrogen in the tank c.) If temperature of the tank is 300 C, what is the specific volume of nitrogen in the tank if nitrogen is an ideal gas at 300 C?

Question

There is nitrogen gas in a pressurized tank. A manometer measures the pressure using two immiscible fluids (A and B), one end is open to the atmosphere. The density of fluid A is 2400 kg/m^3 and fluid B is 1600 kg/m^3. The height of fluid A is equal on either side of the manometer. Fluid B rises 1m above fluid A. Atmospheric pressure is 97 kPA. Gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. 

a.) What are two assumptions needed for the problem?

b.) Write a force balance for the problem and find the pressure of nitrogen in the tank

c.) If temperature of the tank is 300 C, what is the specific volume of nitrogen in the tank if nitrogen is an ideal gas at 300 C?
