Let [Omega]/[omega] = m. Then

v = v1m;

p/G = p_a/G - v1²(m² - 1)/2g

= p_a/G - (m² - 1)h;

whence we find that p/G will become zero or negative if

[Omega]/[omega] >= [root]{(h + p_a/G)/h}

= [root]{1 + p_a/Gh};

or, putting p_a/G = 34 ft., if

[Omega]/[omega] >= [root]{(h + 34)/h}.

In practice there will be an interruption of the full bore flow with a

less ratio of [Omega]/[omega], because of the disengagement of air

from the water. But, supposing this does not occur, the maximum

discharge of a mouthpiece of this kind is

Q = [omega] [root]{2g(h + p_a/G)};

that is, the discharge is the same as for a well-bell-mouthed

mouthpiece of area [omega], and without the expanding part,

discharging into a vacuum.

§ 52. _Jet Pump._--A divergent mouthpiece may be arranged to act as a

pump, as shown in fig. 62. The water which supplies the energy

required for pumping enters at A. The water to be pumped enters at B.

The streams combine at DD where the velocity is greatest and the

pressure least. Beyond DD the stream enlarges in section, and its

pressure increases, till it is sufficient to balance the head due to

the height of the lift, and the water flows away by the discharge pipe

C.

[Illustration: FIG. 62.]

Fig. 63 shows the whole arrangement in a diagrammatic way. A is the

reservoir which supplies the water that effects the pumping; B is the

reservoir of water to be pumped; C is the reservoir into which the

water is pumped.
