A spray system is shown in the diagram. Water is supplied at p = 10 kPa gage, through the flanged opening of area A = 1900 mm2. The water leaves in a steady free jet at atmospheric pressure. The jet area and speed are A = 650 mm2 and V = 4.6 m/s. The mass of the spray system is 0.09 kg and it contains V = 196 cm3 of water.

An object, with a flat horizontal lower surface, moves downward into the jet of the spray system with speed U = 5 ft/s. Determine the minimum supply pressure needed to produce the jet leaving the spray system at V = 15 ft/s. Calculate the maximum pressure exerted by the liquid jet on the flat object at the instant when the object is h = 1.5 ft above the jet exit. Estimate the force of the water jet on the flat object.

- Water in a vertical (i.e., gravitational force of the fluid in the nozzle plays a role, and the elevation change in the Bernoulli's Equation, if needed, should be considered) pipe is charging from an attached bend nozzle into the atmosphere as shown in Fig. 5. The nozzle's weight is 20 kg. The pipe and the nozzle are connected by a flange. The gage pressure of the flow at the flange is 35 kPa when the discharge rate is 0.1 m³/s. The volume of the bending nozzle is 0.012 m³. Calculate the vertical component of the anchoring forcing required to hold the nozzle in place and determine its direction. G= 9.81 m/s². The density of water is 1000 kg/m³. ChatGPT solution: Nozzle 1 Area -0.01 m² P-35 kPa Area -0.025 m² 0.10 ms Figure 5: Q5 35 degreearrow_forwardGive me right solution according to the question. Air flows at a rate of 0.85 m3/s through a horizontal round duet, which is reduced in diameter from 300 mm to 150 mm. Considering no frictionlosses, find the change in pressure between inlet and outlet. The density ofair is 1.22 kg/m3.arrow_forwardA jet of water strikes a splitter and splits into two streams of equal velocity but unequal thickness. All jets have a width w (into the paper). Friction forces of the water stream on the splitter are negligible. Ignore the weight of the splitter. a) Use the integral mass conservation equation to find an equation for the thickness t of angled exit stream, t = f (h, a) b) Apply the momentum equation in the vertical direction to find an equation 0 = f(a).Hint: the net vertical force on the splitter is zero c) Find an equation Fx = f(p, V, w,h,a,0) for the horizontal force on the splitterarrow_forward

The curved plate is moving with a velocity of 7 m/s in the direction of the jet. The jet is deflected through an angle of 150°. Assuming the plate smooth find: (i) Force exerted on the plate in the direction of the jet. (ii) Power of the jet, and (iii) Efficiency.arrow_forwardA tank (contains a fluid of density3D2414.5 kg/m3) stands on a frictionless cart (The cart is fixed) and feeds a jet of diameter 4 cm and velocity 6 m/s, which is deflected 0=35 degree by a vane.
