15
A single column U-tube manometer, made of glass tubing having a nominal
inside diameter of 2.4 mm, has been used to measure pressure in a pipe or vessel containing air:
If the limb opened to atmosphere is 10 percent oversize, find the error in mm of mercury in the
measurement of air pressure due to surface tension effects. It is stated that mercury is the manometric
fluid for which surface tension = 0.52 N/m and angle of contact a = 140°
16
Calculate the capillary effect in millimetres in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter,
when immersed in (i) water and (ii) mercury. The temperature of the liquid is 20°C and the values
of surface tension of water and mercury at 20°C in contact with air are 0.0735 N/m and 0.51 N/m
respectively. The contact angle for water 0=0° and for mercury 0= 130°. Take specific weight of
water at 20°C as equal to 9790 N/m³.
