Step 1
Since each nozzle requires 250 gpm and there is no indication of the number of nozzles, we will assume there is one nozzle for simplicity. Therefore, the total flow rate required is 250 gpm. Show more…

A water pump can generate a pressure difference $\Delta p$ (psi) given by $\Delta p=145-0.1 Q^{2},$ where the flow rate is $Q \mathrm{ft}^{3} / \mathrm{s},$ It supplies a pipe of diameter 20 in., roughness 0.5 in.. and length 2500 ft. Find the flow rate, pressure difference, and the power supplied to the pump if it is 70 percent efficient. If the pipe were replaced with one of roughness 0.25 in. how much would the flow increase, and what would the required power be?
Consider a horizontal 2 in. $\times 1$ in. venturi with water flow. For a differential pressure of 25 psi, calculate the volume flow rate (gpm).
Determine the pressure of the water in pipe A shown in Fig_ P2.42 if the gage pressure of the air in the tank is 2 psi. p = 2 psi SG = 0.9 Air 1 ft 4 ft 2 ft Water
