Introduction
•Absolute pressure
•“psia” – pound force per square inch absolute (lbf/in2
absolute)
•“kPa absolute”
PRESSURE
• Absolute pressure
The pressure is referenced to zero absolute pressure and has
units of psia. Absolute pressure can only have a positive
value.
• Gauge pressure
The pressure is referenced to atmospheric pressure and by
convention is measured in the positive direction, i.e. 7 psig.
• Vacuum pressure
The pressure is referenced to atmospheric pressure and by
convention is measured in the negative direction, i.e. -50 mm
Hg.

Where
P2 = pressure, (kg/cm2)
ρ = density, (kg/cm3)
h = height, (cm)
Manometer
• Gauge pressure is a
measurement relative to
atmospheric pressure
and it varies with the
barometric reading.
• A gauge pressure
measurement is positive
when the unknown
pressure exceeds
atmospheric pressure
(A), and is negative
when the unknown
pressure is less than
atmospheric pressure
(B).
Variations on the U-Tube Manometer
• The pressure reading is
always the difference
between fluid heights,
regardless of the tube sizes.

Dalton’s Law
The total pressure in a
container is the sum of the
pressure each gas would exert if
it were alone
in the container.
The total pressure is the sum of
the partial pressures.

Perfect Gases – The
gas laws
• This curve represents a
line of constant
temperature and is
known as an isotherm.
• This simple
relationship holds for
many common gases at
moderate pressure.
• A perfect gas, or ideal
gas is by definition one
which obeys the ideal
gas law
PV = nRT
GAS LAWS

• V1/T1 = V2/T2 ……… Charles’ law
• pV ∝ n ……….. Avogadro’s principle
• pV = nRT ……………. Ideal gas law

Ideal gas vs Real
gas
The ideal gas model is an approximate model of gases
that is often used to simplify calculations on real
gases.
An ideal gas has the following properties:
1. There are no intermolecular forces between the gas
particles.
2. The volume occupied by the particles is negligible
compared to the volume of the container they occupy.
3. The only interactions between the particles and with
the container walls are perfectly elastic collisions.
Real gas
Most gases deviate from ideal gas behavior (e.g at
high pressure (> 1 atm) & high temperature)
• The deviations of a real gas from ideal gas
behaviour may also be quantified by a parameter
called the compression factor, usually given the
symbol z. PV=nzRT
• As temperature is decreased below a critical value,
the deviation from ideal gas behavior becomes
severe, because the gas CONDENSES to become a
LIQUID.
Differences Between Ideal
and Real Gases
Ideal Gas Real Gas
Obey PV=nRT Always Only at very low
P and high T
Molecular volume Zero Small but
nonzero
Molecular attractions Zero Small
at 1 Atmosphere Pressure
at 10 Atmospheres Pressure
at 30 Atmospheres Pressure
But since real gases do have volume, we need:
Volume Correction
The actual volume free to move in is less
because of particle size.
More molecules will have more effect.
Corrected volume V’ = V – nb
“b” is a constant that differs for each gas.
Pressure Correction
Because the molecules are
attracted to each other, the
pressure on the container will
be less than ideal.
Pressure depends on the
number of molecules per liter.
Since two molecules interact,
the effect must be squared.
