Question

What is the pressure drop due to the Bernoulli Effect as water goes into a 3.00-cm-diameter nozzle from a 9.00-cm-diameter fire hose while carrying a flow of 40.0 L/s? (b) To what maximum height above the nozzle can this water rise? (The actual height will be significantly smaller due to air resistance.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 3.00 cm

Exit diameter = 9.00 cm

Flow = 40.0 L/s²

We need to calculate the pressure

Using Bernoulli effect

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2+\rho g h_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2+\rho g h_{2}$

When two point are at same height so ,

$P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho v_{2}^2$....(I)

Firstly we need to calculate the velocity

Using continuity equation

For input velocity,

$Q=A_{1}v_{1}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{Q}{A_{1}}$

$v_{1}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(1.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{1}=56.58\ m/s$

For output velocity,

$v_{2}=\dfrac{40.0\times10^{-3}}{\pi\times(4.5\times10^{-2})^2}$

$v_{2}=6.28\ m/s$

Put the value into the formula

$P_{1}-P_{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{1}^2-v_{2}^2)$

$\Delta P=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times(56.58^2-6.28^2)$

$\Delta P=1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$

(b). We need to calculate the maximum height

Using formula of height

$\Delta P=\rho g h$

Put the value into the formula

$1.58\times10^{6}=1000\times9.8\times h$

$h=\dfrac{1.58\times10^{6}}{1000\times9.8}$

$h=161.22\ m$

Hence, The pressure and maximum height are $1.58\times10^{6}\ N/m^2$ and 161.22 m respectively.
