Question

4. Inside the Detroit airport, there is a water fountain art project that has dozens of water fountains that shoot the water in a tight parabolic stream, which goes in a hole in the floor, such that very little water actually gets on the floor itself. Designing such a system requires very careful determination of what pressure pump you want to use to shoot the water. Let?s prestend you are the engineer working with the artist designing the art project, and you need to size the pump for a particular fountain. Assume the pump is 1.5 meters below the height of a fountainhead (it is on the ceiling of the floor below, so that it can be serviced if necessary), and the pump pushes water into a 34?? diameter pipe (34?? internal diameter). The pump creates some pressure, which you will need to determine. That pressure pushes the water up the 1.5 meters to the nozzle, and the water leaves the nozzle at an angle of 45 degree. If you want the water to land exactly 2 meters away from the nozzle head, at the same elevation, and the nozzle head has a diameter of 1/16th of an inch, what pressure should the pump produce? What gauge pressure is this in psi? 5. Let?s say you can?t find a pump that produces exactly the pressure you want - but you can find one that produces a pressure only slightly higher. What would be the easiest way (that you can think of) to adjust the system to allow the slightly higher pressure pump to work? Assume that the artist has already built all of his stuff in the floor - i.e. the fountain is fixed in place, the catch that the water needs to go into is fixed in place, etc.. What can you do?

Explanation / Answer

can you help with a diagram bcz

when the water comes out is it going vertically or at an agle 45o to the horizontal this is to be known

mention the diameter of the pipe
