Abstract Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are generally related to the core-collapse of massive stars. In the collapsar scenario, a rotating stellar-mass black hole (BH) surrounded by a hyperaccretion disk has been considered as one of the plausible candidates of GRB central engines. In this paper, we work on a sample including 146 long GRBs with significant jet break features in the multiband afterglows. The jet opening angles can then be obtained by the jet break time. By assuming GRB jets powered by the Blandford–Znajek (BZ) mechanism in the BH hyperaccretion system, we analyze the distributions of the long GRB luminosities and durations in the samples, and constrain the accretion rates for the different BH spins. As a result, we find that the BZ mechanism is so powerful that it is possible to interpret the long GRB prompt emissions within reasonable accretion rates.
