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 
diameter 
75 
mm. 
Determine the flow rate 
from 
the nozzle and 
the power required to drive the pump.
