Firefighters are holding a nozzle at the end of a hose while trying to extinguish a fire. If the nozzle exit diameter is 13.2 cm and the water flow rate is 11.54 m3 determine the magnitude of the horizontal resistance force required of the firefighters to hold min the nozzle, in kN. Assume the flow is uniform exiting from the nozzle. Give your answer to 2 decimal places. Take the density of water to be 1000- kg m3.

The airfl ow underneath an air hockey puck is very complex,especially since the air jets from the air hockey tableimpinge on the underside of the puck at various points nonsymmetrically.A reasonable approximation is that at anygiven time, the gage pressure on the bottom of the puck ishalfway between zero (atmospheric pressure) and the stagnationpressure of the impinging jets. (Stagnation pressureis defined as p0 =1/2ρV2jet . ) ( a ) Find the jet velocity V jetrequired to support an air hockey puck of weight W anddiameter d . Give your answer in terms of W , d , and thedensity ρ of the air. ( b ) For W = 0.05 lbf and d = 2.5 in,estimate the required jet velocity in ft/s.
A medical syringe (shown below) is used to inject a patient with a local anaesthetic before performing outpatient surgery. The anaesthetic can be modeled as an incompressible fluid with specific gravity, S = 1.02. Determine the plunger velocity, in units of in/s, if the anaesthetic is to be delivered at a constant 7 cm3 s −1 when the syringe is modeled as being perfectly sealed, and there is backward leakage between the plunger and syringe at a rate of 10% of the volume flow rate delivered through the needle. Note that anaesthetic is still to be delivered to the patient at 7 cm3 s −1 , despite this leakage.
A tripod holding a nozzle, which directs a 5-cmdiameter stream of water from a hose, is shown. The nozzle mass is 10 kg when filled with water. The tripod is rated to provide 1800 N of holding force. A firefighter was standing 60 cm behind the nozzle and was hit by the nozzle when the tripod suddenly failed and released the nozzle. You have been hired as an accident reconstructionist and, after testing the tripod, have determined that as water flow rate increased, it did collapse at 1800 N. In your final report you must state the water velocity and the flow rate consistent with the failure and the nozzle velocity when it hit the firefighter. For simplicity, ignore pressure and momentum effects in the upstream portion of the hose
Consider a long sewer pipe, half full of water, slopingdownward at angle θ . Antoine Chézy in 1768 determinedthat the average velocity of such an open channel fl owshould be V ≈ C √R tan θ , where R is the pipe radius andC is a constant. How does this famous formula relate to thesteady fl ow energy equation applied to a length L of thechannel?

In Prob. it would be difficult to solve for Ω because of itappears in all three of the dimensionless pump coefficients.Suppose that, in Prob. 5.61, Ω is unknown but D = 12 cmand Q = 25 m 3 /h. The fluid is gasoline at 20 ° C.

We are given laboratory data, taken by Prof. Robert Kirchhoffand his students at the University of Massachusetts, for thespin rate of a 2-cup anemometer. The anemometer wasmade of ping-pong balls ( d = 1.5 in) split in half, facing inopposite directions, and glued to thin ( 1/4-in) rods pegged toa center axle. There were fourrods, of lengths l = 0.212, 0.322, 0.458, and 0.574 ft. Theexperimental data, for wind tunnel velocity U and rotationrate Ω , are as follows: Assume that the angular velocity Ω of the device is afunction of wind speed U , air density ρ and viscosity μ , rodlength l , and cup diameter d . For all data, assume air is at1 atm and 20 ° C. Defi ne appropriate pi groups for thisthe problem, and plot the data in this dimensionless manner.Comment on the possible uncertainty of the results.As a design application, suppose we are to use thisanemometer geometry for a large-scale ( d = 30 cm) airportwind anemometer. If wind speeds vary up to 25 m/s and wedesire an average…

(Just Question a.) A water filled pipe has water flowing at v1= 5.90 m/s in a section of pipe where the diameter is d1= 20.2 cm and the pressure is known to be P1= 7.00×104 N/m2 above atmospheric pressure. If the pipe carries the water 3.5 meters up hill without any change in diameter, what is the new absolute pressure within the pipe? After flowing up the hill described above, the pipe narrows to 80% of its original radius, what will be the new water velocity (v2) in the pipe? What will be the absolute pressure (P3) in the smaller pipe? a. What is the volume flow rate through the smaller pipe?
