Example 1. Determine the pressure head at point 2 if pump provides a flow rate of 415 lpm with 4.5 m head pressure at
point 1. Check for if height of the jet reaches about 1. 4 m.

 Solution:
The head pressure at the base of the nozzle (point 2) can be obtained as
a result of applying the Bernoulli´´ equation between points 1 and 2:
p2 (m.c.a.) = (Z1 - Z2) + p1 (m.c.a.) + V1 2/ 2g - V2 2/ 2g - hf totales
Being constant diameter pipe, the above equation becomes:

p2 (m.c.a.) = (Z1 - Z2) + p1 (m.c.a.) - Shf totales

Initial example data:

p1 (m.c.a.) = 4.5
(Z1 - Z2) (m) = -2.5
Q (lpm) = 415

Note: Shf totales will be obtained by DATA ENTRY AND RESULTS SHEET.
