Consider water flowing through a water hose of length of 100 ft, diameter of 3/8 inch, and average surface roughness 5-105 ft. The gage pressure at the hose inlet is 40 psi. The hose contains a ball valve which controls the flow rate. Calculate the mass flow rate of water through the hose with the ball valve completely open and with ball valve 2/3 closed. Hint: Determining the friction factor requires an iterative approach - start the iterations by assuming that the friction factor is equal to 0.01 and perform at least 3 iterations.

Question
Consider water flowing through a water hose of length of 100 ft, diameter of 3/8 inch, and average
surface roughness 5-105 ft. The gage pressure at the hose inlet is 40 psi. The hose contains a ball
valve which controls the flow rate. Calculate the mass flow rate of water through the hose with the
ball valve completely open and with ball valve 2/3 closed.
Hint: Determining the friction factor requires an iterative approach - start the iterations by
assuming that the friction factor is equal to 0.01 and perform at least 3 iterations.
