Question
A nozzle reduces the diameter of a pipe from 10 cm to 3 cm. The flow rate is 2.5 L s⁻¹. The inlet pressure is measured at 115 kPa, gage, and the nozzle discharges to atmosphere.

Determine:

(a) the inlet and outlet average velocities. [0.32 m s⁻¹, 3.5 m s⁻¹]

(b) the reaction force required to hold the nozzle in place. [−1661.7 N]

(c) the energy loss for the flow through the nozzle. [272.3 W]
