Question: Fire hoses used in major structure fires have an inside diameter of 6 . 4 0 cm . Suppose such a hose carries a flow

Fire hoses used in major structure fires have an inside diameter of 6.40 cm. Suppose such a hose carries a flow of 36.0 L of water per second starting at a gauge pressure of 1.60106 N/m2. The hose goes 10.0 m up a ladder to a nozzle having an inside diameter of 3.00 cm. Assume negligible resistance in the hose and calculate the Reynolds number for flow in the hose and the nozzle. Use 1.00510-3(N/m2) s as the coefficient of viscosity for water.
(a) the hose
NR,hose =
(b) the nozzle
NR,nozzle =
