Question
Determine the average water exit velocity
Answer:
53.05 m/s
Explanation:
Given information
Volume flow rate,
Diameter d= 8cm= 0.08 m
Assumptions
- The flow is jet flow hence momentum-flux correction factor is unity
- Gravitational force is not considered
- The flow is steady, frictionless and incompressible
- Water is discharged to the atmosphere hence pressure is ignored
We know that Q=AV and making v the subject then
where V is the exit velocity and A is area
Area, where d is the diameter
By substitution
To convert v to m/s from m/s, we simply divide it by 60 hence
