Bernoulli’s Principle in Fire Service Hydraulics
Hydraulics in the fire service is a very important item. A lot of equipment relies on hydraulics, whether it be a pump that moves water, a pump that supplies hydraulic fluid to operate rescue tolls, or to power a generator. Hydraulics is also used in the everyday life of regular citizens, whether at work or at home. The purpose of this paper is to define Bernoulli’s Principle as it relates to fire service hydraulics, look at an example of how it may be found in the fire service, and the concept of conservation of energy as it applies to Bernoulli’s Principle. Literature Review
Bernoulli’s principle was first published in 1738 and was created by Daniel Bernoulli who was a swiss mathematician and physicist. Bernoulli’s principle as per the text book can be defined as, that where the velocity of a fluid is high, the pressure will be low, and where the velocity is low, the pressure will be high (Crapo, 2017). When you look at an example of Bernoulli’s principle in the fire service on that comes to mind is when you are attacking a fire with an exterior attack with distance between the nozzle and the fire, When doing this the water flowing out of the nozzle is pushing air into the structure and introducing the fire more air. When
this happens it can either work in favor of fire suppression or against it. Introducing more oxygen/air to a fire can also make the fire grow and extend further in the structure. Bernoulli’s principle is applied in this example by allowing air to mix in the water stream that is being directed to the fire from an exterior attack by allowing the distance in between the fire and water.
If the hose line was advanced into the structure and water was applied to the fire there would be less air that would mix in due to the distance between the nozzle the water is coming from and the fire that the water is being applied to. Conservation of energy is explained as energy can be neither increased nor decreased in any system. It can only change from one form to another or be transferred from one body to another (Crapo, 2017). Energies that are included in conservation of energy are kinetic energy,

elastic energy, and potential energy. Kinetic energy are energies that are due to the motion of objects. Elastic energy are energies that are due to collision between objects. Potential energy is energy that is due to gravitational effect (Unacademy, n.d.). Conservation of energy has two main ways that it can be used, one from changing form and the other from transferring forms. As
discussed prior Bernoulli’s principle deals with fluid flow. Conservation of energy is applied to fluid flow to produce Bernoulli's equation. Conclusion As stated before hydraulics in the fire service can be used in multiple ways from pumps to operating rescue tools. Bernoulli’s principle is used very often in the fire service in ways of conservation of energy and then conservation of energy is used to help produce the Bornoulli’s equation. Bernoulli’s principle is used in everyday life and may not be thought of. It can be used in several different aspects from the job place to the normal home life. Bernoullie’s principle deals with the flow of fluid and energy and can be looked at in several different ways.

2. (Inspired by a walk in Baker Student Center.) An escalator handles a steady load of 30 people per
minute taking them from the first to the second floor through a vertical rise of 24 feet. Let us say the
average person riding the elevator weighs 160 lb.
a. What output power on a motor do you require to drive the unit? Take literally one minute to
find an electric motor online that could do this job. You can search “_ hp electric motor"
and state the motor name, power, cost, and vendor. Of course, round up your hp, not down to
meet your specs. (In practice, this is an area where you can spec the motor in equivalent
Watts, if you choose.)
b. What is the electric power that is input to the motor considering losses within the escalator
system due to friction, vibration, etc.? Your chosen motors surely have a different efficiencies
and sources may even present efficiency as a function of power/rpm, so let's all use the value
of e= 0.85 for consistency.

Problem 2.3
The following problem can be solved using the generalized conservation and accounting
principle to determine if a recycling plant is profitable annually.
Operating information:
●
●
The plant operates 9 hours each day, 5 days each week, and 48 weeks each year.
The plant purchases 30 tons of aluminum (at a rate of $0.02/lb) during each operating
week.
The plant has 5 full-time employees who are paid $18 per hour. All employees work
during all of the plant's operating hours.
The plant produces 7 bales of recycled aluminum per day, which it sells for $950 per bale.
[Note: 1 ton = 2000 lb]
Answer the following questions:
(c) In order to determine the plant's annual profitability, would one be interested in studying
the instantaneous rate of change in "stuff" (i.e. rate form) or the total change in "stuff"
over an interval (i.e. finite-time form)?
(d) On a system diagram (hint: think dashed lines!), use labeled arrows to identify each
individual input and output of "stuff".

Most collisions are inelastic, meaning the kinetic energy is not conserved in the system. (a) What are the three most common ways for energy to leave a system during a collision? To the best of my knowledge, the use of the word "perfectly" in a perfectly elastic collision is not necessary. Any elastic collision is a perfectly elastic collision. Both concepts mean the kinetic energy is conserved. The use of the word "perfectly" in perfectly inelastic collisions is just telling you that the two objects end up sticking to each other (have the same final velocity). (b) Combine the equations for the 1-D conservation of linear momentum and the conservation of kinetic energy to create a third equation. Any two of these equations now contain all the information, so the three equations are said to be linearly dependent in math-speak. This means we only need to use any two equations for our solutions, naturally we will chose the simplest two. (c) Use two of these equations along with…

1) A building consists of two floors. The first floor is attached rigidly to the ground, and the second
floor is of mass m = 1000 slugs (fps units) and weighs 16 tons (32,000 lb). The elastic frame of
the building behaves as a spring that resists horizontal displacements of the second floor; it
requires a horizontal force of 5 tons to displace the second floor a distance of 1 ft. Assume that in
an earthquake the ground oscillates horizontally with amplitude A, and circular frequency w,
resulting in an external horizontal force F(t)
What is the natural frequency (in hertz) of oscillations of the second floor?
b. If the ground undergoes one oscillation every 2.25 s with an amplitude of 3 in, what is the
amplitude of the resulting forced oscillations of the second floor?
