Water flows from a 20-mm-diameter pipe with a flowrate Q as shown in Fig. P3.61. Plot the diameter of the water stream, d, as a function of distance below the faucet, h, for values of 0h1 m and 0Q0.004 m3/s. Discuss the validity of the one-dimensional assumption used to calculate d=d(h), noting, in particular, the conditions of small h and small Q.
