A mining engineer plans to do hydraulic mining with a high-speed jet of water. A lake is located H = 300 m above the mine site. Water will be delivered through L = 900 m of fire hose; the hose has inside diameter D = 75 mm and relative roughness e/D = 0.01. Couplings are located every 10 m along the hose. The nozzle outlet diameter is d = 25 mm. Its minor loss coefficient is K = 0.02 based on outlet velocity. Estimate the maximum outlet velocity that this system could deliver. Determine the maximum force exerted on a rock face by this water jet.

The discharge is 0.2 m^3/s with suction pipe of 100 mm diameter and 90 mm diameter discharge pipe. The total head loss is 50% of the velocity head at suction pipe.

To model power production in a traditional hydroelectricity unit, we can use the below schematic figure. Water (e= 998 kg/m3, µ = 0.001 kg/m.s) flows from a large tank at elevation 60 m through a cast iron pipe with total length of L diameter 0.1 m. There are three losses associated with sharp-edge entrance, 90° reg- ular elbow and an open globe valve. Outlet of the valve is discharged to atmosphere.

The inner diameter (ID) of the duct is 129 mm, its average roughness is 0.15 mm, and its total length is L = 24.5 m. There are three elbows along the duct, each with a minor loss coefficient of 0.21. Literature from the hood manufacturer lists the hood entry loss coefficient as 3.3 based on duct velocity. When the damper is fully open, its loss coefficient is 1.8. The minor loss coefficient through the 90° tee is 0.36. Finally, a one-way valve is installed to prevent contaminants from a second hood from flowing “backward” into the room.
