QUESTION:
In Fig. P2.57 pipe A contains carbon tetrachloride (SG = 1.60) and the closed storage tank B contains a salt brine (SG = 1.15). Determine the air pressure in tank B if the pressure in pipe A is 25 psi.
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
The following are given by the question:
The pressure in pipe A, \(P_{A}=25 \mathrm{psi}\)
The specific gravity of carbon tetrachloride, \(S G_{C}=1.60\)
The specific gravity of salt brine, \(S G_{S b}=1.15\)
The pressure in the pipe B can be calculated as,
\(P_{B}+S G_{S b}(1 \mathrm{ft})+S G_{c}(3 \mathrm{ft})=P_{A} \quad (1)\)
