3.14 The following data refer to an axial flow blower with a single stage: Mass flow rate=0.75 kg/s Rotor tip and hub diameters= 24 cm and 16 cm Rotational speed = 3500 rpm As the air flows through the rotor, it turns through an angle of 22° away from the axial direction. Assuming standard atmospheric conditions and that the axial velocity is a constant, compute the degree of reaction and power input to the blower. Also, find the utilization factor. Inlet absolute velocity is purely axial.

Suppose a u-bend is redirecting a flow of water. The water enters flowing to the right at 10 m/s. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the water leaves flowing to the left.

Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place.
