Manometer Team Problem 1
A U-tube manometer containing an unknown fluid is located between two points on a pipe. The pipe is inclined at an angle =30 and the points are 5ft from each other along the pipe. A differential reading of 38-in will produce a difference in pressure between A and B of 3.
a) Write out an expression describing the pressure between point A and point B.
b) Determine the specific gravity of the fluid in the manometer.
c) If the difference pA-pB increased (with half of its initial reading) would the differential manometer reading increase, decrease or not change?
