16 - Question 12 by Kambiz Ehsani - Fluid Mechanics - 4/30/2018 - Solved

Explain what happens when we squeeze the gardening hose tip while the water is running? explain what is changing. What happens to the pressure? what happen to velocity and why? What happens to the water flow?

Solution:

Flow rate will be less due to the added friction and restriction. Velocity will be added due to less flow rate. From the Euler equation of  p(term) + v(term) + z(term) = cte
We know that z term will be constant therefore when v term increase we would know that delta p will decrease and therefore p of water before exiting the hose will be increased .
