A jet of water issues out from a fire hydrant nozzle fitted at a height of 3 m from the ground at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizontal. If the jet under a particular flow condition strikes the ground at a horizontal distance of-assume values with decimals between 15 to 20 m- m from the nozzle, find the jet velocity and the maximum height the jet can reach and its maximum horizontal distance from the nozzle. Neglect air resistance.

An airflows in a circular cylinder with a speed of 320 m/s the pressure is 121,751.5 N/m. What will be the pressure at the point of the surface of the cylinder, With an angle of 25degrees with the direction of airflow
Consider flow from a water reservoir through a circular hole of diameter D = 0.16m at the sidewall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual hole with a sharp-edged entrance (?? = 0.47) is considerably less than the flow rate calculated assuming “frictionless” flow and thus zero loss for the hole. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, obtain a relation for the “equivalent diameter” of the sharp-edged hole
Water flows from a reservoir into a rigid horizontal pipe whose intake is 52m below the surface elevation of the reservoir. The pipe discharges through a valve into the atmosphere and is 0.6m in diameter and 1.5km long. Assuming a rigid water column calculate the pressure rise at the valve if it is closed in 4.5 seconds. Assume a friction factor of 0.008. If the valve is re-opened at some later time, calculate the time taken for the flow to accelerate to 65% of its steady state value. Answers (120.63m, 8.3s)

Water flows through a 4-in pipe at the rate of 0.952 cfs and thence through a nozzle attached to the end of the pipe. The nozzle tip is 2 in in diameter and the coefficients of velocity and contraction for the nozzle are 0.95 and 0.93, respectively. What pressure head must be maintained at the base of the nozzle if atmospheric pressure surrounds the jet?
