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.
