__________ can be defined as a stream of water of other extinguishing agent after it leaves a nozzle until it reaches the desired point
Fire stream
Stream of water or extinguishing agent passes through space, it is influenced by ___________, ________, _______, and _______with the air.
Velocity, gravity, wind, and friction with the air
Fire service utilizes three basic types of fire streams:
Solid fog broken
________ stream is a fire stream produced from a fixed orifice, smoothbore nozzle
Solid stream
Solid stream nozzles: short distance from the outlet the nozzle becomes a __________whose length is from _____ to _________ times its diameter. Purpose of this is to give the water its ________ before discharge
Cylindrical bore 1 to 1 1/2 times round shape
Solid stream nozzles should be operated at _____psi. Solid stream master stream devices should be operated at ______ psi
50 psi 80 psi
What is the formula for determining teh amount of water that is being discharged from a solid stream nozzle?
GPM=29.7 x d2 x /NP (7.07)
Determine the water flow from a 1" tip operating at 50 psi.
GPM=29.7 x (12 ) x 7.07 GPM= 210
Stream of water with a certain velocity remains in a solid mass, not losing continuity until it _______, _____________,or _______________
Stikes an object is overcome by gravity is changed by friction with the air
_______-line bounding a rounded surface; the outward boundary of an object distinguished from its internal regions
Periphery
_______-turning or state of being turned; a turning from a straight line or given course; a bending; a deviation
Deflection
__________-to strike or dash about or against; clashing with a sharp collision; to come together with force
Impinge
Reach of the fog stream is directly dependent on the ___________________, _______________, ______, and the ____________________
Width of the stream size of the water droplets wind amount of water flowing
______________ nozzles are designed to flow a specific amount of water at a specific nozzle discharge pressure on all stream patterns
Constant flow nozzles
Most constant flow nozzles are intended to be operated at a NP of ________ psi. Some lower pressure nozzles that operate at ___ to ___ psi for special applications such as _____________
100 psi 50 to 75 psi high-rise fire fighting
