A fire nozzle is coupled to the end of a hose with inside diameter D = 77 mm. The nozzle is smoothly contoured and its outlet diameter is d = 33 mm. The nozzle is designed to operate at an inlet water pressure of 744 kPa (gage). (a) Determine the design flow rate of the nozzle. (Express your answer in L/s.) (b) Evaluate the axial force required to hold the nozzle in place. (c) Indicate whether the hose coupling is in tension or compression.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Axial Force is normally referred to as the Force acting along the path of the module or assembly. For instance, let’s consider a cylindrical Square column or Building column. Now the column is a structural part of the whole structure and it is planned and designed to take Axial Compression force.

the diagram and step by step explanation in solving this question is in the attached images below
