Homework Statement
Hey. I've posted a few questions around here lately, and really appreciate any help! thanks
Right, attached is an image showing a simple pump system.
pump inlet gauge pressure = Pi = -34.2 kPa
nozzle diameter = 5cm
rho = 1000kg/m3
Calculate the flow rate
2. The attempt at a solution
I know that this is to be solved using a form of bernoulli's equation: [P1/rho * V12/2 + gz1] - [P2/rho * V22/2 + gz2] = work/mass flow rate.
I know that the velocity in the tank can be declared = 0, and the pressure at the nozzle outlet = Patm.
Any pointers please!
