A fountain ejects water (p = 1000 kg/m and = 1 x 10- kg/ms) upwards into the surrounding atmosphere through a nozzle with an inner diameter of 10 mm, as shown below. The inner diameter of the supply pipe is 60 mm. Water ejected from the nozzle reaches a height of 4 m above the pipe's centerline, before falling back down. Assume steady, frictionless flow in performing the calculations required below. 60 mm 4 m 09 a) Estimate the volumetric flow rate of water through the pipe at section A. [6 marks] ANS: 6.96 x 10-4 m/s b) Estimate the gauge pressure of water in the supply pipe at section A.
