Hydraulic mining is to be done using water from a lake located 300 m above the mine site.

The density and


kinematic viscosity of water are 1000 kg/m3 and 1*10-6 m2/s, respectively. A 900 m long fire hose with an inside
diameter of 75 mm and a relative roughness of 0.01 will be used. Couplings are located every 10 m along the hose.
The nozzle outlet diameter is 25 mm and its loss coefficient is 0.04 based on the upstream velocity. Estimate the
outlet velocity from the nozzle.

hose length = 900 m 300 m


hose diameter = 75 mm
hose relative roughness = 0.01
coupling every 10 m
nozzle outlet diameter = 25 mm
coupling loss coefficient = 20
nozzle loss coefficient = 0.04
