Tests were conducted to determine the flow rate available in a water distribution system. Fire hydrants A, B, and C are located around a central fire hydrant. The coefficient of discharge for the 65-mm diameter nozzles on fire hydrants A, B, and C is 0.90. When all the fire hydrants were closed, the pressure at the central hydrant was 550 kPa. When one 65-mm nozzle on fire hydrants A, B, and C was opened, • the pitot pressures in the streams of water issuing from A, B, and C were 80, 60, and 40 kPa, respectively. • the pressure at the central fire hydrant was 240 kPa. Determine the flow available when the pressure at central hydrant is 140 kPa.
