Problem 1: A fire nozzle is supplied through 100 m of 3.5-cm- diameter, smooth, rubber-lined hose. Water from a hydrant is supplied to a booster pump on board the pumper truck at 350 kPa (gage). At design conditions, the pressure at the nozzle inlet is 700 kPa (gage), and the pressure drop along the hose is 750 kPa per 100 m of length. Determine: (a) the design flow rate (b) the nozzle exit velocity, assuming no losses in the nozzle,
