Question

The speed of water flowing through a hose increases from 2.05 m/s to 31.4 m/s as it goes through the nozzle. What is the pressure in the hose, assuming the absolute pressure in the nozzle is atmospheric pressure

Answer 1

The pressure in the hose as the speed of water changes from 2.05 m/s to 31.4 m/s as it goes through the nozzle is 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m².

Given:

The flow of water through the hose initially, v₁ = 2.05 m/s

The flow of water through the hose initially, v₂ = 31.4 m/s

Calculation:

From Bernoulli's equation we have:

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + 1/2 ρv₂² + ρgh₂

where P₁ is atmospheric pressure

           P₂ is the pressure in the hose

           ρ is the density of the fluid

           h₁ is the initial height

           h₂ is the final height

           v₁ is the initial velocity of the fluid

           v₂ is the final velocity of the fluid  and

           g is the acceleration due to gravity

Re-arranging the above equation we get:

P₂ = P₁ + 1/2 ρ(v₁²-v₂²) + ρg (h₁-h₂)

Applying values in the above equation we get:

P₂ = P₁ + 1/2 ρ(v₁²-v₂²) + ρg (0)

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ 1/2 (10³ g/m³) [(31.4m/s)²-(2.05 m/s)²]

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ 1/2 (10³ g/m³) [981.7575]

    = (1.01 × 10⁵ Pa)+ (4.91 × 10⁵ Pa)

    = 5.92 × 10⁵ Pa

    = 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m²

Therefore, the pressure in the hose is 5.92 × 10⁵ N/m².
