1. A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 40 kgm/s. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine (a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. 50 cm Water 40 kg/s

A reducing elbow in a horizontal pipe is used todeflect water flow by an angle ϴ = 450from the flowdirection while accelerating it (Fig. 3). The elbowdischarges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 30kg/s. The cross-sectional area of the elbow is 150cm2 at the inlet and 25 cm2 at the exit. The elevationdifference between the centers of the exit and theinlet is 40 cm. The mass of the elbow and the waterin it is 50 kg. Determine the anchoring force neededto hold the elbow in place.

A jet of water with velocity 35 m/s strikes a series of radial curved vane mounted on a wheel which is rotating at 200 rpm. The jet makes an angle 30° with the tangent to the wheel at inlet, and leaves the wheel with a velocity 5 m/s at angle of 140° to the tangent to the wheel at the outlet. The outer and inner radii of the wheel are 70 cm and 35 cm, respectively.
