Answer:
The pressure in the piping system is approximately 76 psia
Explanation:
The pressure in the piping system in psia, can be obtained using Pascal's Principle:
[tex]P_{abs} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm}[/tex]
Where;
[tex]P_{abs}[/tex] is the absolute pressure in the piping system
[tex]P_{gauge}[/tex] is the gauge pressure in the piping system
[tex]P_{atm}[/tex] is the atmospheric pressure
Given;
[tex]P_{gauge}[/tex] = 75 psig
Barometric pressure = 30.07 in Hg
Converting barometric pressure to atm
1 in Hg ---------------------> 0.0334211 atm
30.07 in Hg ---------------> ?
= 30.07 X 0.0334211 atm
= 1.004973 atm
[tex]P_{abs} = P_{gauge} + P_{atm}[/tex]
[tex]P_{abs} = 75 + 1.004973[/tex] = 76.004973
The pressure in the piping system is approximately 76 psia
