Problem 79HP

Pumps, Pipe and Channel Flows

Consider a water pump that receives liquid water at 25°C, 100 kPa and delivers it to a same-diameter short pipe having a nozzle with an exit diameter of 2 cm (0.02 m) to the atmosphere at 100 kPa (see Fig. P4.79). Neglect the kinetic energy in the pipes and assume constant u for the water. Find the exit velocity and the mass flow rate if the pump draws 1 kW of power.
