The pressure guage on the steam condenser for a turbine indicates 26.2 in. Hg of vacuum. The barometer reading is 30.4 in. What the absolute pressure in the condenser in psia?

1 answer

is the calculation correct?

vaccun = 26.2inhg
Barometer=30.4 inhg
Converting inhg to Psia

Absolute pressure = 12.87+14.9
=27.77psia
