Figure below depicts a system for delivering phosphorus fertilizer in liquid form. The nozzle on the end of the hose requires 160 kPa of pressure to operate effectively. The smooth plastic hose has a length of 74 m and an internal diameter of 25 mm. The fertilizer solution exhibits a specific gravity of 1.10 and a dynamic viscosity of 2.63 mPas. Given the flow rate of phosphorus fertilizer is 78.67 L/min. Neglect all the energy losses on the pipe inlet and the suction side of the pump. The loss coefficient of nozzle head at the pump outlet can be estimated as 0.3, in which velocity of fluid in the smaller-diameter pipe should be used in the calculation of minor loss. Assume the kinetic energy correction factor is equal to 1. Vent 10m Pump 1.2 m 1 1.5 m (2 (a) Determine the velocity of liquid fertilizer in the pipe.
