Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles (Includes Unit Operations) Fourth Edition

2.2-1.	Pressure in a Spherical Tank. Calculate the pressure in psia and kN/m² at the bottom of a spherical tank filled with oil having a diameter of 8.0 ft. The top of the tank is vented to the atmosphere having a pressure of 14.72 psia. The density of the oil is 0.922 g/cm³.
A1:	Ans. 17.92 lb_f/in.² (psia), 123.5 kN/m²
2.2-2.	Pressure with Two Liquids, Hg and Water. An open test tube at 293 K is filled at the bottom with 12.1 cm of Hg, and 5.6 cm of water is placed above the Hg. Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the test tube if the atmospheric pressure is 756 mm Hg. Use a density of 13.55 g/cm³ for Hg and 0.998 g/cm³ for water. Give the answer in terms of dyn/cm², psia, and kN/m². See Appendix A.1 for conversion factors.
