fire pump delivers water through a 15 cm main pipe to a hydrant to which is connected an 8 cm. hose, termination in a nozzle 2 cm in diameter. The nozzle, trained vertically up is 1.60 m above the hydrant and 12 m above the pump. The head losses are as follows: pump to hydrant: 3 m.; at the hydrant 2 m.; Hydrant to nozzle 12 m. and at the nozzle: 6 % of the velocity head of the nozzle. If the gauge pressure at the pump is 550 kPa, to what vertical height can the jet of water be thrown? Include the diagram in your solution. A.25.5 m B.23.5 m C.27.5 m D.29.5 m
