Manometer Equations
General Manometer EquationThe formula that relates the pressure difference P1 – P2 to the difference in manometer fluid levels is based on the principle that the fluid pressure must be the same at any two points at the same height in a continuous fluid. In particular, the pressure at the height of the lower surface of a manometer fluid is the same in both arms of the manometer. the general manometer equation
In a differential manometer, fluids 1 and 2 are the same, and consequently p1 = p2 = p.
Differential Manometer Equation• If either fluid 1 or 2 is a gas at a moderate
pressure (e.g., if one arm is open to the atmosphere), the density of this fluid is 100 to 1000 times lower than the density of the manometer fluid, so that the corresponding pgd term may be neglected.
• If both fluids are gases, then the equation becomes P1 – P2 = pfgh
Manometer Formula for Gases:
• If P2 is atmospheric pressure, then the gauge pressure at point 1 is simply the difference in the levels of the manometer fluid.
Temperature and its Scales
What is Temperature?• Temperature is a physical property of a system that underlies the
common notions of hot and cold;
• Temperature is a property of matter.
• One of the principal parameters of thermodynamics.
• The unique physical property that determines the direction of heat flow between two objects placed in thermal contact. If no heat flow occurs, the two objects have the same temperature; otherwise heat flows from the hotter object to the colder object.
Definitions
• It is the measurement of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the particles of matter.
• The temperature of a substance in a particular state of aggregation (solid, liquid. or gas) is a measure of the average kinetic energy possessed by the substance molecules.
• A measure of its thermal state considered in reference to its power to transfer heat to other bodies. (Maxwell Definition)
Measurement
• Must be determined indirectly by measuring some physical property of the substance whose value depends on temperature in a known manner.
• Volume of a Fluid (thermometer)• Resistance of a metal(Resistance thermometer)• Voltage at the junction of two dissimilar metals(thermocouples)• Spectra of emitted radiations(pyrometer)
Temperature Scales
Comparison of temperature scales
• Relative Scales– Fahrenheit (°F)– Celsius (°C)
• Absolute Scales– Rankine (°R)– Kelvin (K)
Can be defined in terms of any of these properties, or in terms of physical phenomena, such as freezing and boiling, that take place at fixed temperatures and pressures.
Physical Scales Vs Numerical Scales
• "the temperature at which the resistivity of a copper wire is 1.92 x 10-6 ohms/cm3 “
• "the temperature two-thirds of the way from the boiling point of water.“
• A defined temperature scale is obtained by arbitrarily assigning numerical values to two reproducibly measurable temperatures;
Temperature Scales• To construct a thermometer
scale:• Select Two naturally occurring
fixed events• Freezing and Boiling Point of water are normally chosen.
• Then numbers are assigned to these points
• Then the space in-between is divided into a fixed number of equal degrees.
• Main temperature scales• Celsius
• Fahrenheit• Kelvin
• Rankine
Uses of the Scales• Fahrenheit scale is used for engineering and Household purposes.
• Celsius scale is universally used for all scientific measurements
The Fahrenheit Scale
• The fixed points on which the Fahrenheit scale were created:
A mixture of ice water and salt as the low
The human body temperature as the high.
AND
°F Scale
• Freezing point became = _________
• Boiling point became = ________
32 0F
212 0F
Absolute zero falls at -459.67°F.
Celsius Scale
• The original name was the• CENTIGRADE scale
– In 1948 it was renamed in honor of the original creator, Anders Celsius
Boiling Point = 100 0CFreezing Point = 0 0C
Absolute zero (theoretically the lowest temperature attainable in nature) on this scale falls at -273.15°e.
Absolute Scales
• The Kelvin and Rankine scales are defined such that absolute zero has a value of 0 and the size of a degree is the same as a Celsius degree (Kelvin scale) or a Fahrenheit degree (Rankine scale ).
Kelvin Scale• Named for William Thomson• Who became Lord Kelvin of
Largs.• His scale is based on the
temperature at which all molecular movement STOPS. KE=0
Kelvin Scale and
• Absolute Zero = 0 • Boiling point of water = 373 K=100C• Freezing point of water = 273 K=0C
•This temperature is known as•ABSOLUTE ZERO
Rankine Scale
• KE=0• Incerements=Farenhite
• 459.67R=0F
