A pump steadily draws water from a pond at a volumetric flow rate of 180 gal/min through a pipe having a 5 in. diameter inlet. The water is delivered through a hose terminated by a converging nozzle. The nozzle exit has a diameter of 2.6 in. and is located 35 ft above the pipe inlet. Water enters at 58°F, 14.7 psi and exits with no significant change in temperature or pressure. The magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the pump to the surroundings is 5% of the power input. The acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2. Determine the velocity of the water at the exit in ft/s.

A pump steadily draws water from a pond at a volumetric
flow rate of 180 gal/min through a pipe having a 5 in. diameter
inlet. The water is delivered through a hose terminated by a
converging nozzle. The nozzle exit has a diameter of 2.6 in. and
is located 35 ft above the pipe inlet. Water enters at 58°F, 14.7
psi and exits with no significant change in temperature or
pressure. The magnitude of the rate of heat transfer from the
pump to the surroundings is 5% of the power input. The
acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/s2. Determine the velocity of
the water at the exit in ft/s.
Select one:
a. 3.59 ft/s
O b. 67.92 ft/s
c. 10.88 ft/s
O d. 89.87 ft/s
