A vacuum gage connected to a chamber reads 35 kPa at a location where the atmospheric pressure is 92 kPa. Determine the absolute pressure in the chamber.

Respuesta :

Answer:

the absolute pressure in the chamber is 57 kPa

Explanation:

given information:

vacuum's pressure, P₁ = 35 kPa

atmospheric pressure, P₀ = 92 kPa

to find the absolute pressure in he chamber, we can use the following equation:

[tex]P_{abs} =P_{atm} - P_{v}[/tex]

where

[tex]P_{abs}[/tex] = absolute pressure

[tex]P_{atm}[/tex]= atmospheric pressure

[tex]P_{v}[/tex]= vacuum pressure

so,

[tex]P_{abs} =P_{atm} - P_{v}[/tex]

       = 92 kPa - 35 kPa

       = 57 kPa

Answer:

57 kPa.

Explanation:

Absolute pressure is zero-referenced against a perfect vacuum, so it is equal atmospheric pressure to vacuum gauge pressure.

Mathematically,

Pab = Patm - Pvac

Given:

Pvac = 35 kPa

Patm = 92 kPa

Pab = 92 - 35

= 57 kPa.
