    Solving a Thermodynamics Problem

    In order to find the height difference, we need to know both the a and h, and 'h' is what we're expected to calculate.

    Solving a Thermodynamics Problem

    If i calculate as per your instructions, it would be: X + rho * g * a 138 + 1000 * 9.81 * 1.5 14853 N/m2 Now, 14853 = rho * g * h h = 14853 / rho * g h = 14853 / (13600 *9.81) Therefore, h = 0.111328 But the solution is 1.145m :( Thanks for trying to help...any other ideas...

    Are there any short term courses available on aerodynamics?

    In my opinion, the best book on aerodynamics is 'Mechanics of Flight'. I prefer the 9th edition. You might get that in the library. Cheers, -Brittt

    Solving a Thermodynamics Problem

    Kinda lost...please help ! Hello, There's this basic problem in thermodynamics that I'm stuck on. The question is Fluid 'A' is water and 'B' is mercury. Determind the value of 'h' if the pressure at 'X' is 138 kN/m2 and 'a' is 1.5m rho[SIZE="1"]w = 1000 kg/m3 rho[SIZE="1"]m = 13600 kg/m3 The...
