An air compressor and takes atmospheric Air at 14.7 PSI and increases its pressure to 150 psi ( Gauge). the pressurized air is stored in a horizontal tank. what is the absolute pressure of air inside the tank

The absolute pressure of air inside the tank is 164.7 psi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Atmospheric pressure = 14.7 Psi

Gauge pressure = 150 psi

We need to calculate the absolute pressure of air inside the tank

Using formula of absolute pressure

Where, = gauge pressure

=atmospheric pressure

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The absolute pressure of air inside the tank is 164.7 psi.
