Chapter 4, Problem 4.60PP
When a dam is installed in a river that has salmon, an alternative path of travel for spawning is critical to the survival of the salmon. It is desired to install a series of observation windows so that the public can watch the salmon "run" through this bypass during the season. The design for observation windows is shown in Fig. 4.58 and the wetted portion of the window will be a rectangle of

2.25 A fire-fighting nozzle is attached to a 3-in. flexible hose in which the
pressure is 100 psi. The nozzle is adjusted down to 1 in. in diameter. If you
were the fire chief on the job, how many men would you have holding the
nozzle? How high a building do you think you could reach from the ground
with such a device?
Hint: Make a reasonable guess based on your answer on the # of people to hold the hose. For the second part of the problem use Bernoulli’s equation and add the gh term to both sides.
Figure 4.46 shows a water tank with a circular tube
connected at its bottom. A circular door seals the
pipe opening to prevent flow. In order to drain the
tank, a winch is used to hold the door open.
Calculate the amount of force the winch cable must
exert to open the door.

SHOW COMPLETE SOLUTION. THANK YOU. Intravenous infusions usually are driven by gravity by hanging the fluid bottle at sufficient height to counteract the blood pressure in the vein and to force the fluid into the body (fig. below). The higher the bottle is raised, the higher the flow rate of the fluid will be. An 8 ft diameter by 16 ft height vertical tank is receiving water (? = 62.5 lb/ft3) at the rate of 295 gal/min and discharging through a 4-in ID line with a constant speed of 6 fps. At a given instant, the tank is half full.

SallySue (BillyBob's long suffering wife) is watering the goats in the back 40 acres, and has to cobble together a couple of old garden hoses to make the distance from her outside water tap. Assume that the ground is perfectly flat and there is no change in elevation. Yes, Billy Bob and SallySue Huckaby live on a flood plain and get flooded out regularly. But I digress. Connected to the tap, there is a 2.00cm-d hose, and that is connected to a 3.00cm-d hose which reaches the water trough for the goats. Assume that the holes in the pipe have been properly mended with duct tape so there are no leaks. If it takes 2.50minutes to fill up the 20.0gallon water trough (old bathtub), determine the difference in pressure between the second hose and the first.arrow_forward
