Fire services arrived at a site to put out a fire on the ground floor of a building. the fire chief decided there is no need to turn on the pump in the fire truck since fire is on lower grounds and nozzle connection at the end of the hose can be used. the diagram below shows the arrangement of the firefighting efforts through a hose-pipe connected to the tank in the truck. the following parameters are known:
ρ=1000 kg/m^3 (water)
d_1=35 mm
d_2=d_3=110 mm
u_2=3.7 m/s
p_2=200 kpa (gauge)
p_1=atmospheric
z_2=z_1=0.9 m
q=0.035 m^3/s
α=1 (assuming fully developed turbulent flow)
calculate the velocity at the nozzle exit (u_1).
calculate the pressure at the lowest point in the hose-pipe (p_3).
determine the height of water (h) in the tank that provides the pressure (p_3) at location 3. was the pump required?
if flow was reversed through the nozzle, find p_2 that will result in an inward velocity of u_2=1.8 m/s at location 2.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
