Answer all parts (a) - (c).

Formulas you may need
  • Continuity: Q=v1A1=v2A2Q = v_1A_1 = v_2A_2 (on the formula sheet)
  • Bernoulli: p1ρg+v122g+z1=p2ρg+v222g+z2\dfrac{p_1}{\rho g} + \dfrac{v_1^2}{2g} + z_1 = \dfrac{p_2}{\rho g} + \dfrac{v_2^2}{2g} + z_2 (on the formula sheet)
  • Steady-flow momentum balance: ∑Fext=(m˙v)out−(m˙v)in\sum F_{ext} = (\dot m v)_{out} - (\dot m v)_{in} (on the formula sheet)
  • Pump similarity (affinity) laws: Q2Q1=N2N1(D2D1)3\dfrac{Q_2}{Q_1} = \dfrac{N_2}{N_1}\left(\dfrac{D_2}{D_1}\right)^3, H2H1=(N2N1)2(D2D1)2\dfrac{H_2}{H_1} = \left(\dfrac{N_2}{N_1}\right)^2\left(\dfrac{D_2}{D_1}\right)^2 (learn this; printed on the 2024 data sheet, not on the current sheets)
  • Lift and drag: FL=CL 12ρu2AF_L = C_L\,\tfrac{1}{2}\rho u^2 A, FD=CD 12ρu2AF_D = C_D\,\tfrac{1}{2}\rho u^2 A (learn this)
  • Power to overcome drag: P=FD uP = F_D\,u (learn this)
  • Weight: Fg=mgF_g = mg (on the formula sheet)
  1. (a)
    A nozzle and hose are attached to the ladder of a fire truck. What force is needed to hold a nozzle supplied by a 100 mm diameter hose with a pressure of 2800 kPa? The nozzle outlet diameter is 50 mm.

  2. (b)
    A manufacturer desires to triple both the discharge and head on a geometrically similar pump. Determine the change in rotational speed and diameter under the new conditions.

  3. (c)
    An aircraft with a mass, including payload, of 1500 kg and density 0.45 kg/m30.45\ \mathrm{kg/m^3} is designed to cruise at a speed of 100 m/s. The effective wing area is approximately 20 m220\ \mathrm{m^2}. Determine the lift coefficient and the power required by the aerofoil during cruising. Assume a conventional aerofoil having a drag coefficient CDC_D of 0.0065.
