2-1/2 inch fire hose discharges water through a nozzle having a jet diameter of 1 inch. The lost head in the nozzle is 5.76 percent of the velocity head in the jet. If the gage pressure at base of nozzle is (a) 86 lb per sq in.: (b) 167 lb per sq in.: (1.1) compute the discharge in gallons per minute: (1.2) what is the maximum horizontal range to which the stream can be thrown, neglecting air resistance?

Question

A 2-1/2 inch fire hose discharges water through a nozzle having a jet diameter of 1 inch. The
lost head in the nozzle is 5.76 percent of the velocity head in the jet. If the gage pressure at
base of nozzle is (a) 86 lb per sq in.: (b) 167 lb per sq in.: (1.1) compute the discharge in
gallons per minute: (1.2) what is the maximum horizontal range to which the stream can be
thrown, neglecting air resistance?
