In a fire fighting system, a pipeline with a pump leads to a nozzle as shown in Fig. S5.11. Find the flow rate when the pump develops a head of 80ft, given that we may express the friction head loss in the 6-indiameter pipe by hf=5V622g, and the friction head loss in the 4-in-diameter pipe by hf=12V422g.(a) Sketch the energy line and hydraulic grade line. (b) Find the pressure head at the suction side of the pump. Find (c) the power delivered to the water by the pump, and (d) the power of the jet.
