First you will consider your control volume as the water just leaving the hydrant up to the hose leaving the firetruck, as shown below.
FI
The pressure at the exit of the water hydrant is 69.0kPa (gage). The firetruck's pump is described according to the performance curve provided below. The pump is selected as to be able to overcome a losses equivalent to 15V22g, where V is in ms. The net elevation between the hydrant and the hose exit may be neglected.
a) Determine the system curve in the most convenient units. (15 points)
b) Determine the flow velocity in ms.(10 points)
c) What is the power required to drive the pump in kW?(10 points)
