7. A large tank is partly filled with water, the air space above being under pressure. A 2" hose connected
to the tank discharges on the roof of a building 50 ft above the level in the tank. The friction loss is 18 ft.
What air pressure must be maintained in the tank to deliver 0.436 cfs on the roof ?
A fire starts in an apartment building in downtown Boston. When the firefighters arrive, they
immediately get to work putting out the fire using a fire hose. The water for the fire hose is
provided by a fire hydrant at ground level. Assume that the velocity of the liquid coming from the
fire hydrant is 1.6 m/s, and that the pressure at the hose nozzle is atmospheric pressure (101000
Pa).
a. The firefighters start with the ground floor, so there is no change in height between the fire
hydrant and the hose nozzle. If the velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle is 12.8 m/s,
find the pressure at the fire hydrant in units of Pa.
b. After the ground floor fire is put out, another fire is spotted on another floor. A firefighter
carrying the hose is lifted on a platform to the same height as the fire, which is 44.35
m above the ground. Assuming that the pressure found in part a) remains constant, what
would be the new velocity of the water coming out of the nozzle at this new height?
b. The discharge pressure of an air compressor is 6 times the suction pressure. If the volumeflow rate at the suction is 0.86 cubic meters per second, what is the compressor power (kW)for n = 1.38 and suction pressure is 101 kPaa?
