Nadeen is washing her car, using a nozzle similar to the one sketched in Fig. 4-8. The nozzle is 3.90 in (0.325 ft) long, with an inlet diameter of 0.420 in (0.0350 ft) and an outlet diameter of 0.182 in (see Fig. 4–9). The volume flow rate through the garden hose (and through the nozzle) is V = 0.841 gal/min (0.00187 ft³/s), and the flow is steady. Estimate the magnitude of the acceleration of a fluid particle moving down the centerline of the nozzle.

Question
Nadeen is washing her car, using a nozzle similar to the one sketched in
Fig. 4-8. The nozzle is 3.90 in (0.325 ft) long, with an inlet diameter of
0.420 in (0.0350 ft) and an outlet diameter of 0.182 in (see Fig. 4–9).
The volume flow rate through the garden hose (and through the nozzle) is
V = 0.841 gal/min (0.00187 ft/s), and the flow is steady. Estimate the
magnitude of the acceleration of a fluid particle moving down the centerline
of the nozzle.
