A garden hose with a diameter of 0.64 in has water flowing in it with a speed of 0.46 m/s and a pressure of 1.9 atmospheres. At the end of the hose is a nozzle with a diameter of 0.25 in.(a) Find the speed of water in the nozzle.(b) Find the pressure in the nozzle.

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a).The speed of the water in the nozzle is 3.014 m/s.

(b). The pressure in the nozzle is 1.86 atm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Nozzle diameter = 0.25 in = 0.00635 m

Hose pipe diameter = 0.64 in = 0.016256 m

Pressure = 1.9 atm =192518 Pa

(a). We need to calculate the speed of the water in the nozzle

Flow Speed at the inlet pipe will be given by using Continuity Equation

[tex]Q_{1}=Q_{2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1}A_{1}=v_{2}A_{2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1}=v_{2}\times(\dfrac{A_{2}}{A_{1}})[/tex]

Where, A = area of pipe

[tex]A=\pi\times \dfrac{d^2}{4}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1}=v_{2}\times(\dfrac{d_{2}^2}{d_{1}^2})[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]v_{1}=0.46\times\dfrac{(0.016256)^2}{(0.00635)^2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{1}=3.014\ m/s[/tex]

The speed of the water in the nozzle is 3.014 m/s.

(b). We need to calculate the pressure in the nozzle

Using Bernoulli's Theorem,

[tex]P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho\times v_{1}^2+\rho gh_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho\times v_{2}^2+\rho gh_{2}[/tex]

Where, [tex]h_{1}=h_{2}[/tex]

[tex]P_{1}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho\times v_{1}^2=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho\times v_{2}^2[/tex]

[tex]P_{1}=P_{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\rho(v_{2}^2-v_{1}^2)[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]P_{1}=192518 +\dfrac{1}{2}\times1000\times((0.46)^2-(3.014)^2)[/tex]

[tex]P_{1}=188081.702\ Pa[/tex]

[tex]P=1.86\ atm[/tex]

Hence, (a).The speed of the water in the nozzle is 3.014 m/s.

(b). The pressure in the nozzle is 1.86 atm.
