 Photo via : Upupa4me | The problems for the afternoon section in the NCEES "Sample Questions + Solutions" book are numbered 501 through 540. This post is about Problem 506 of the Thermal and Fluid Systems sample exam. Description & Analysis of Problem 506: This is a relatively straightforward U-tube manometer problem. The configuration is very simple and is similar to what is found as a solved example in any Fluid Mechanics or Thermodynamics textbook. The following problem is inspired by a solved example in "Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics" 6th edition, by Munson, et al. and is only slightly more complicated than Problem 506. |
Thermal-Fluid Systems Exam Sample Problem #1
| A closed tank contains compressed air and oil (SG=0.9) as shown in the figure. A U-tube manometer using mercury (SG=13.6 ) is connected to the tank as shown. The column heights are h1 = 36 in., h2 = 6 in., and h3 = 9 in. |  |
| The pressure reading (psi) of the gage is nearest: (A) 1.0 (B) 2.0 (C) 3.0 (D) 4.0 Have any questions? Need help? Leave a comment below! You may download the solution here: |
