An irrigation pump is used to draw water from a pond. One end of a 5.05 cm diameter hose pipe is connected to the outlet of the pump at 1.02 m below the surface level, and just after the pump, the static gauge pressure and flow rate of the water are 50 kPa and 8 kg/s, respectively. The pumped water is discharged at the ground level through a nozzle. Assume that the flow through the hose pipe and nozzle is steady and laminar, and friction and viscous losses are negligible. The density of water is 1000 kg/m
and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s
. If the static pressure at the nozzle exit of the nozzle jet reduces to atmospheric pressure then the nozzle diameter (in cm) of the nozzle is __________. (Rounded off to 2 decimal places)Log in to check the answer

In an air-standard Otto cycle, the pressure and temperature of air just before the compression stroke are 200 kPa and 26.85 °C, respectively. The combustion process is assumed to be a constant volume process, where 1.02 MJ/kg heat is added. The cycle efficiency is 50%. The adiabatic index
and specific heat at constant volume
can be considered to be constant during the process (corresponding values taken at the mean cycle temperature).Assuming that the ideal gas law is applicable,
and
