A vacuum recorded in the condenser of a steam power plant is 740 mm of Hg. Find the absolute pressure in the condenser in Pa. The barometric reading is 760 mm of Hg. |

Answer» Vacuum recorded in the condenser = 740 mm of Hg Barometric reading = 760 mm of Hg We know that, Absolute pressure in the condenser = Barometric reading – vacuum in the condenser = 760 – 740 = 20 mm of Hg = 20 × 133.4 N/m2 (\(\because\) 1 mm of Hg 133.4 N / m2) = 2668 N/m2 = 2668 Pa. |
