Question
Please help me with question 8.40

Transcribed Image Text:number. Under what circumstances might it be advantageous to
have turbulent rather than laminar pipe flow?
A garden hose is attached to a faucet that is fully
opened. Without a nozzle on the end of the hose, the water does
not shoot very far. However, if you place your thumb over a
portion of the end of the hose, it is possible to shoot the water
a considerable distance. Explain this phenomenon. (Note: The
flowrate decreases as the area covered by your thumb increases.)

Air at standard temperature and pressure flows
through a 1-in.-diameter galvanized iron pipe with an average
velocity of 8 ft/s. What length of pipe produces a head loss
equivalent to (a) a flanged 90° elbow, (b) a wide-open angle
valve, or (c) a sharp-edged entrance?
