Re: about surge

tsk tsk.

math sleight of hand steve. U switched from local atmos pressure in absolute to saying it was the gauge reading (barg)

  "Gauge pressure is defined as Pabs - Patm = 0bara - 2bar(a)     not= -2barg. not QED"
ie your Patm is not -2barg.

your gauge pressure is PAbs- Patm = 0bara- 2bara (as defined in your first line>ie. not 0barg-2barg)
so the gauge pressure on the tube would be -2bara = -1barg (i'm in NA and years since i used bar , but i recall1 bar absolute is 101kpa=14.7psia. and 1bar gauge is 14.7psig (relative to atmos ie on top of earths 14.7pisa
so (-2bara not -2barg). ie you wouldnt read this on a gauge.

so the gauge would read -1bar (ie complete vacuum) (relative to the ambient bell pressure) which is possible as you say with a vacuum gauge. the riddle missed the sealed ends of the pipe which we assumed was what you meant.

Practical problem - since a normal gauge measures relative to the surroundings you would have to be sure the gauge was able/calibrated to handle the bell submersed (environmental ambient pressure -32feet ). do i sense a troll?
