Question: Situation 9 - In a laboratory constant head permeability test, a cylindrical Situation 1 1 - fire pump delivers water through 1 8 0 m

Situation 9- In a laboratory constant head permeability test, a cylindrical Situation 11- fire pump delivers water through 180 m of 150 mm main to a hydrant which is connected to a 63.5 mm hose 76 m long ending in a 25 mm nozzle. The nozzle is 1.50 m above the hydrant and 4.60 m above the pump. Assuming the coefficient of friction in the pipe as 0.02 and that in the hose 0.017 and a loss in the nozzle of 5% of the velocity head in the jet.
