A firehose must be able to shoot water to the top of a building 28.0 m tall when aimed straight up. Water enters this hose at a steady rate of0.500m3/s and shoots out of a round nozzle. (a) What is the maximum diameter this nozzle can have? (b) If the only nozzle available has a diameter twice as great, what is the highest point the water can reach?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The maximum diameter of the nozzle is 0.165 m .

b) The height water can reach when the diameter is twice its original value is 1.75 m .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The height of the building is, h=28.0m.
  • The flow rate at which water enters the hose, Av=0.500m3/s.
02

Concept of continuity equation in fluid flow

The mass of a flowing fluid will not change as it flows. A meaningful relationship that explains this is called the continuity equation. The continuity equation helps to explain the shape of a stream of fluid/liquid from a height.

03

(a) Evaluation of the maximum diameter of the nozzle

By conservation of energy, initial speed and height water reaches can be expressed as,

12mv2=mgh

Here, m is the mass of the water, v is the speed of flow, h is the height of the building and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The speed of flow of water can be expressed by,

v22=ghv2=2ghv=2gh

Substitute values in the above equation.

v=29.80m/s228m=23.4m/s

The volume flow rate of water can be expressed as,

Av=D24v

Here, A is the cross-section area of the nozzle and D is the diameter of the nozzle.

The diameter of the nozzle can be calculated as,

role="math" localid="1656495076166" D24v=0.500m3/sD2=40.500m3/s蟺惫D=40.500m3/sv

Substitute values in the above equation.

D=40.500m3/sv=40.500m3/s3.1423.4m/s=0.165m

Thus, the maximum diameter of the nozzle is 0.165m.

04

(b) Determination of the highest point the water can reach when the diameter is twice of the original diameter

The volume flow rate is given by Av. It is also expressed as D2vwhich is constant.

So if D is twice as greater, then v is decreased by a factor of 4.

By conservation law of energy,

hv2

By the above relation, h is decreased by a factor of 16. So, new h is calculated as,

h1=28.0m16=1.75m

Thus, the height water can reach when the diameter is twice its original value is 1.75m.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.
