The water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The water stream from the nozzle is observed to rise 25 m above the ground. Explain what may cause the water from the hose to rise above the tank level.
A venturi meter is used to measure the flow rate of water at 55 degrees Celsius. The venturi meter has a throat diameter of 75mm, and it is situated in a 250-mm pipeline. A mercury (SG = 13.6) manometer measures the pressure difference, and the reading is 24 mm. Determine a.) the Reynolds number of the flow, b.) the average velocity, c) the volumetric flow rate, and d.) the power loss if 12% of the pressure drop is permanently lost.
