A fireboat is to fight fires at coastal areas, as shown in Figure Q4(b) below, by drawing seawater with a density of 1020 kg/m3 through a 16-cm-diameter pipe at a rate of 0.10 m/s and discharging it through a hose nozzle with an exit diameter of 6 cm. The total irreversible head loss of the system is 5 m, and the position of the nozzle is 3 m above sea level. For a pump efficiency of 65 percent, determine the required shaft power input to the pump and the water discharge velocity. (10 marks) AU 3 m 0.0.0.000 Figure Q4(b)
