12 to 15 psi @wot
mercury exerts more pressure than water bcause mercury is a metal and water is a non metal obviously mercury weighs more than water
The conversion factor of 12.6 is used to convert mercury pressure to water pressure because pressure is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Since mercury has a density that is 13.6 times greater than water, the pressure exerted by a column of mercury will be 13.6 times greater than the pressure exerted by a column of water of the same height. Therefore, to convert mercury pressure to water pressure, we need to divide by the ratio of the densities, which is 13.6.
For a 1995 Mercury 150 Black Max outboard motor, the proper water pressure reading typically ranges from 4 to 15 psi when the engine is running at higher RPMs. It's important to monitor this pressure to ensure adequate cooling and prevent overheating. If the pressure is consistently outside this range, it may indicate a problem with the cooling system, such as a blockage or a malfunctioning water pump. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific guidelines and maintenance recommendations.
Both the can in the pan of water and the mercury barometer function based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. In both cases, changes in atmospheric pressure will cause a corresponding change in the level of water or mercury in the device. The height of the water or mercury serves as an indicator of the atmospheric pressure at that moment.
A Mercury outboard water pump is a engine cooling system. A outboard water pump is what blows steam through to get the car cool,
Yes, water under pressure can cool faster because the increased pressure can lower the boiling point of water, leading to faster evaporation and cooling. Additionally, the higher pressure can enhance heat transfer rates, facilitating faster cooling.
The water pump is bolted to the front of the engine behind the engine cooling fan
Pressure cooling is a type of cooling process that involves increasing the pressure of a substance, such as air or water, to lower its temperature. This is achieved by compressing the substance, which causes it to release heat and cool down. Pressure cooling is commonly used in refrigeration systems and air conditioning units to regulate temperature.
On a 2002 Mercury Sable : The engine coolant reservoir is at the front of the engine compartment , on the passenger side of the engine compartment ( the engine coolant reservoir has a thread on cap on it , that is your pressure cap / radiator cap )
At the normal boiling point of water (100°C), the vapor pressure of water is approximately 760 mm of mercury (1 atm). The gas thermometer, which measures absolute pressure, would read the sum of the atmospheric pressure and the vapor pressure of water. Therefore, if the thermometer initially reads 305 mm of mercury at the triple point, at the normal boiling point, it would read 760 mm of mercury.
does cooling system hold pressure?
if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of mercury the pressure experienced would be greater than if you were to immerse yourself under a meter of water.
