A fire hose has an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose caries a flow of 40.0 L/s starting at a gauge pressure of 1.62106 N/m2. The hose goes 10.0 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3.00 cm. Calculate the Reynolds numbers for flow in the fire hose and nozzle to show that flow in each must be turbulent.

Fluid originally flows through a tube at a rate of 100 cm3/s. To illustrate the sensitivity of flow rate to various factors, calculate be new flow rate for following changes with all other factors remaining the same as in original conditions. (a) Pressure difference increases by a factor of 1.50. (b) A new fluid wit 3.00 times greater viscosity is substituted. (c) The tube is replaced by one having 4.00 times the length. (d) Another tube used with a 0.100 times the original. (e) Yet another tube is substituted with a radius 0.100 times the original and half length, and pressure difference is increased by factor of 1.50.

Water supplied to a house by a water main has a pressure of 3.00105N/m2 early on a summer day when neighborhood use is low. This pressure produces a flow of 20.0 L/min through a garden hose. Later in the day, pressure at the exit of the water main and entrance to the house drops, and a flow of only 8.00 L/min is obtained through the same hose. (a) What pressure is now being supplied to the house, assuming resistance is constant? (b) By what factor did the flow rate be water main increase in order to cause this decrease in delivered pressure? The pressure at the entrance of the water main is 5.00105N/m2 , and the original rate was 200 L/min. (c) How many more users are there, assuming each would consume 20.0 L/min in be morning?
