Gauge Pressure at 10m in a Muddy Lake

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the gauge pressure at a depth of 10m in a muddy lake, the density variation is given by ρ=ρ0+kh, where ρ0 is 1000 kg/m^3 and k is 100 kg/m^4. Using the formula for pressure, P = ρ × g × h, and disregarding atmospheric pressure for gauge pressure, the density at 10m is calculated to be 2000 kg/m^3. The gauge pressure is then determined by multiplying this density by the acceleration due to gravity and the depth. Additionally, the dryness fraction of steam after throttling from 14 bar to 1.1 bar and reaching a temperature of 110°C can be calculated using steam tables.

Homework Statement



The Variation of the density with depth h in a muddy lake is given by ρ=ρ0+kh, where ρ0= 1000kg/m^3 is the density at the surface and k=100kg/m^4

Calculate the gauge pressure at a depth of 10m.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Pressure is equal to Rho x g x h
Where Rho is density of the substance, g is gravity and h is height.
Because you've been asked to find gauge pressure, you can disregard the pressure exerted by the atmosphere.

A Sample of Steam at 14 bar is taken from a boiler passed through a throttling calorimeter, where after throttling to 1.1 bar its temperature is observed to be 110`C, determine the dryness fraction of steam?
