Applying Bernoullis equation between two points I and 2
on
the streamline, the
point
I refers to static pressure and point 2
is
stagnation pressure, we can write.

As
air is considered ideal gas, and applying characteristic equation

p = P R T or .p = RT
P = P + P = 9800 x 0.016 + 101000 = 101.156 k Pa

A fire engine pump (shown
in
Fig. 2.21) del ivers water to a nozzle at C located
30 m above the pump at the end
of
a 100
mm
diameter delivery pipe. The pump
draws water from a sump at A through
alSO
mm
diameter pipe. The pump
is
located at B at a height 2 m above the level
of
the sump. The velocity at the nozzle
is
8.31 m/s and
jet

mm.
Determine the flow rate
from
the nozzle and
the power required to drive the pump.
