What temperature would water boil at if the pressure was 5 psi absolute pressure?

At 5 psi absolute pressure, water would boil at approximately 165°F (74°C). This is lower than the normal boiling point of water at standard atmospheric pressure (212°F or 100°C) because the lower pressure reduces the boiling point of the water.


How much pressure does your brain exert on your skull?

The pressure exerted by the brain on the skull is called intracranial pressure, which typically ranges from 5 to 15 mmHg in adults. This pressure provides essential cushioning and support for the brain within the skull while maintaining proper blood flow. Any significant increase in intracranial pressure can indicate underlying health issues that may require medical attention.


What is the difference between gauge pressure and absolute pressure?

Absolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressureWhen using a pressure gauge, like when measuring the pressure of the air in a tire, the gauge is actually reading the difference between the atmospheric pressure and the atmospheric pressure. So if the gauge measures 30 psi, and taking atmospheric pressure at about 14.7 psi, the absolute pressure in the tire is actually about 44.7 psi. If the tire is flat, then the gauge will read zero psi, but there is not a vacuum - there is still some air present in the tire, and the absolute pressure of this air is the same as the atmospheric pressure (about 14.7 psi).See related link: Guide to the Measurement of Pressure and Vacuum.


What are some of the examples of atmospheric pressure?

Examples of atmospheric pressure include the weight of the air pressing down on the Earth's surface, which is around 14.7 pounds per square inch at sea level. Atmospheric pressure is also responsible for creating weather patterns and influencing the behavior of gases in our atmosphere.


If an evaporator has a pressure drop of10psig and the low side pressure is 15psig what is the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator?

To find the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator, you subtract the pressure drop from the low side pressure. Given a low side pressure of 15 psig and a pressure drop of 10 psig, the inlet pressure would be 15 psig - 10 psig = 5 psig. Therefore, the pressure at the inlet of the evaporator is 5 psig.

What period of time do boiling eggs get ready?

Why is the atmospheric pressure at the top of mt Everest 5 lbin squared much less than the atmospheric pressure here on earth 14.7 lbin squared?

The atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude because there is less air above pushing down on the air at higher altitudes. Mount Everest is much higher in altitude compared to places on Earth where the pressure is measured at 14.7 psi. As you go higher up, the weight of the air above becomes less, leading to lower atmospheric pressure.


How much lift is exerted on the wings of an airplane that have a total surface area of 108 m when the difference in air pressure below and above the wings is 5 percent of atmospheric pressure?

What type of airplane, how much does it weigh, and how fast is it traveling. Is it flying level to the horizon, or is it increasing/decreasing elevation. You have to take in to account these factors before you can answer that question.

How high can you suck water up a straw if The pressure in the lungs can be reduced to about 5 kPa below atmospheric pressure?

The pressure 5kPA is about 0.725psi or 104.4lbs/sqft. (we're using feet for the cross section of the straw so that we can use it easily for the height) We know that water has a density of 62.4lbs/ft^2. Therefore, we divide the weight of the water that we can suck up the straw at 5kPa by the density of water. We get the volume of water that we can move. (104.4lbs) / (62.4lbs/ft^3) = 1.67ft^3 Since our column is a 1ft x 1ft column, water will be able to be lifted to 1.67ft.

Why is there more air pressure in the first layer of atmosphere?

The atmosphere consists of 5 layers: the troposphere, which we live in; followed by stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Air pressure at any of these layers is typically caused by hydrostatic pressure, defined as P = hpg, where P is the pressure, h is the height or depth of fluid, and g is the gravitational acceleration. In simple context, my physics lecturer once explained to me: the reason why we live under an atmospheric pressure of 1 bar is simply because there is a column of air above us. As we move upwards (e.g. in an airplane or on top of a mountain), the height of this column is reduced, thus the atmospheric pressure is less. Therefore, the first layer of atmosphere (or the lowest layer) will experience the highest air pressure.

How do you calculate absolute pressure at 55 metres below sea level when atmospheric pressure is 103 kilo pascals?

absolute pressure of liquid = atmospheric pressure (P₀) + (relative density (ρ) of liquid x height of liquid x gravitational acceleration) P₀ = 103000 Pa ρ of sea water at 15°C = 1025 kg/m³ h = 55 m g = 9.81m/s² Answer = 103000 Pa + (1025 kg/m³ x 9.81 m/s² x 55 m) Answer = 6.56 x 10^5 Pa (Sorry about using the carat in signifying the scientific notation, but apparently I cannot find a way to type a superscript 5 using code.)
