Question:

A pressure washer available to home owners lists 1300 psi and 2 gpm among its specifications. We know, however, that the actual pressure of the water is atmospheric (0 gage) once it exits the nozzle. The key feature of the so-called pressure washer then is actually the velocity with which it exits the nozzle. Neglecting any losses, what would be the velocity of the stream from this machine if it achieves the specified flow rate through an outlet nozzle having a diameter of 0.062 in?
