Homework #7
Due November 3, 2014
1. Do Problem 7.37 with =9810 N/m3. Ae is the area of the nozzle that has the exit
velocity given. Assume that the velocity at the hydrant is negligible since the pipe
supplying the hydrant is so much
larger than the firehose.
2. For the 50-mm diameter siphon
drawing oil (S = 0.82) from the oil
reservoir as shown in the figure,
the head loss from point 1 to point
2 is 1.0 m and from point 2 to
point 3 is 2.5 m. Find the discharge
of oil from the siphon and the oil
pressure at point 2. Assume  = 1
at all locations and w = 9810
N/m3.
3. Do Problem 7.43. Note that the “head loss from the venture meter to end of pipe”
occurs from where the water leaves the reservoir to the end of the pipe.
4. The pump shown is 80%
efficient. If the pressure rise is
825 kPa, calculate the required
energy input in horsepower.
5. Do Problem 7.87. Assume the pump is 100% efficient and use  = 62.4 lbf/ft3. Be
sure to indicate the distance between the HGL and EGL. Also notice that there is an
abrupt expansion where the pipe enters the upper reservoir.
Grad student special problem #1
Do Problem 7.44. Assume velocities in reservoir and river are essentially zero for the
energy equation, but for the rise of water in the tank, velocity is essentially dh/dt where
h is the height of the water in the tank. Recall that total hL is due to both abrupt
expansion and head loss in the pipe.
Grad student special problem #2
Do Problem 7.91. When plotting the HGL and EGL, be sure to indicate the distance
between HGL and EGL.
