Given Information:
Inlet flow rate = V₁ = 740 cm3/s
Inlet diameter = d₁ = 2.83 cm
Exit velocity = v₂ = 12.4 m/s
Answer:
(a) A₁ = πd₁²/4
(b) A₁ = 6.29 cm²
(c) v₁ = V₁/A₁
(d) v₁ = 117.65 m/s
(e) A₂ = A₁(v₁/v₂)
(f) A₂ = 59.68 cm²
Explanation:
(a) Express the cross-sectional area of the hose, A₁ in terms of d₁
We know that area is given by
A₁ = πr₁²
we know that diameter is related to radius as
r₁ = d₁/2
A₁ = π(d₁/2)²
A₁ = πd₁²/4
(b) Calculate the numerical value of A₁ in cm²
The numerical value of inlet area A₁ of water hose is
A₁ = π(2.83)²/4
A₁ = 6.29 cm²
(c) Express the speed of the water inside the hose, v₁ in terms of V₁ and A₁
The volumetric flow rate is area times velocity
V₁ = A₁v₁
which becomes
v₁ = V₁/A₁
(d) Calculate the numerical value of v₁ in m/s
The numerical value of inlet velocity v₁ of water hose is
v₁ = 740/6.29
v₁ = 117.65 m/s
(e) Express the cross-sectional area of the nozzle, A₂ in terms of v₁, v₂ and A₁
As we already know V₁ = A₁v₁ and V₂ = A₂v₂ therefore,
A₁v₁ = A₂v₂
A₂ = A₁(v₁/v₂)
(f) Calculate the numerical value of A₂ in cm²
The numerical value of exit area A₂ of water hose is
A₂ = 6.29*(117.65/12.4)
A₂ = 59.68 cm²
