The figure illustrates the operation of an air lift pump. Compressed air is forced into a perforated chamber to mix with the water so that the specific gravity of the air€“water mixture above the air inlet is 0.5. Neglecting any pressure drop across section (1), compute the discharge velocity v of the air€“water mixture. Can Bernoulli's equation be used across section (1)?

v = ? 0.90 m Compressed air 1.8 m
