A garden hose attached with a nozzle is used to fill a 10‐ gal bucket. The inner diameter of the hose is 2 cm, and it reduces to 0.8 cm at the nozzle exit. If it takes 50 s to fill the bucket with water, determine (a) the volume and mass flow rates of water through the hose, and (b) the average velocity of water at the nozzle exit.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of bucket [tex]V=10\ gallon[/tex]

Time taken to fill the bucket [tex]t=50\ s[/tex]

so volume flow rate is [tex]\dot{V}=\frac{10}{50}=0.2\ gal/s[/tex]

1 gal is equivalent to [tex]0.133\ ft^3[/tex]

[tex]\dot{V}=0.0267\ ft^3/s[/tex]

mass flow rate [tex]\dot{m}=\rho \times \dot{V}[/tex]

[tex]\dot{m}=62.4\times 0.0267[/tex]

[tex]\dot{m}=1.668\ lbs[/tex]

(b)Average velocity through nozzle exit

[tex]\dot{V}=Av_{avg}[/tex]

[tex]v_{avg}=\dfrac{0.0267}{\frac{\pi}{4}\times (0.0262)^2}[/tex]

[tex]v_{avg}=49.51\ ft/s[/tex]
