A 4500 gallon fire pumper truck has 2.5 inch diameter outlets and can supply water at 210 psi gauge pressure. A hose with a nozzle diameter of 0.74 inches is attached to the truck and used on a ladder 45 ft above the truck.
How long will it take to empty the truck?

A fire pumper pumps 150 gpm of water from a fire hydrant through 250 feet of 2.5" c=120 fire hose. 50 feet of the hose are on the suction side of the pump with the remaining 200 feet are on the discharge side. The hydrant and the pump are at the same elevation and the pressure in the hydrant is 20 psi. The velocity head in the source main is negligible. The discharge is through a 1.5 inch nozzle at...
Water flows from a fire truck through a hose that is 11.7 cm in diameter and has a nozzle that is 2.0 cm in diameter. When water leaves the nozzle, it has a speed of 20 m/s. Determine the minimum gauge pressure in the truck's water tank.
A fire department’s tanker truck can hold 10 m3 of water (10,000 L, or about 2500 gallons). When in use, the truck forces water through a hose and out of a 3.0-cm-diameter nozzle with a speed of 8.50 m/s. (a) Use Bernoulli’s equation to find the absolute pressure inside the tank. Assume the speed of the water inside the tank is zero. (b) How long will it take to empty the tank at this rate? Assume the pressure inside the...
5. Fire hoses used in major structure fires have inside diameters of 2.5 in. The nozzle of the fire hose have an inside diameter of 1.2 in. When firefighters are fighting a fire 2019.007 cm above the ground, the pressure in the nozzle is less than at ground level. When measured, the gauge pressure in the nozzle is 0.00 Pa. (a) (2p) How are the firefighters able to fight a fire with zero water pressure? Explain your answer (b) (2p)...
