Solution:
Applying Bernoulli's equation between inlet and
outlet,
[p1 / (g)] + [(v12) / (2g)] = [p2 / (g)] +
[(v22) / (2g)]
or (p1 / ) + (1/2)v12 = (p2 / ) +
(1/2)v22
or [(v22 v12) / 2] = [(p1 p2) / ]
Applying the continuity equation to (1)
A1v1= A2v2
v1 = v2(A2 / A1)
v2 = [{2(p1 p2)} / {[1 (A2 / A1)2]}]
= [{(2) (365,000 0)} / {1000 [1
{(50 / (1000)}4]]
= 27.9 m/s
Hence, q = A2v2
= (/4) (0.050)2 (27.9)
= 0.055 m3/s
Determine the resultant force on a converging nozzle
discharging water to the atmosphere at a rate of 150
gal/min. The inlet internal diameter is 3 in and that of outlet is 1
in. Neglect frictional losses.
