A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at 25 L/s in a horizontal pipe upward by an angle of=45° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The diameter of the elbow is 15 cm at the inlet and 5 cm at the exit. The elevation difference between the center of the exit and inlet is 40 cm. The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 40 kg. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place, assuming a momentum-flux correction factor of 1.03.
A 90° elbow is directs water upwards into the atmosphere from a horizontal pipe with a diameter of 12 cm that is flowing at 20 L/s. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 35 cm. If the weight of the elbow and the water in it are negligible, and assuming a momentum-flux correction factor of 1.03, determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.
A lawn sprinkler with three identical arms is used to water a garden by rotating in a horizontal plane by the impulse caused by water flow. Water enters the sprinkler along the axis of rotation at a rate of 45 L/s and leaves the 1.5-cm-diameter nozzles in the tangential direction. The bearing applies a retarding torque of T0 = 40 N·m due to friction at the anticipated operating speeds. For a normal distance of 40 cm between the axis of rotation and the center of the nozzles, determine the angular velocity of the sprinkler shaft.
A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flowrate at a rate of 1920 g/s in a horizontal pipe downward by an angle theta = 43 from the flow of direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The diameter of the elbow at the inlet is 6.5 cm and at the exit is 1.5cm. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet is 22cm . The mass of the elbow and the water is 61.5 kg. Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place
Water flowing in a horizontal 25-cm-diameter pipe at 8 m/s and 300 kPa gage enters a 90° bend reducing section, which connects to a 15-cm-diameter vertical pipe. The inlet of the bend is 50 cm above the exit. Neglecting any frictional and gravitational effects, determine the net resultant force exerted on the reducer by the water. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.04.
A shower head has 20 circular openings, each with radius 0.90 mmmm . The shower head is connected to a pipe with radius 0.98 cmcm . 1. If the speed of water in the pipe is 3.5 m/sm/s , what is its speed as it exits the shower-head openings? Express your answer in meters per second.
Orange juice is flowing through a horizontal U-type reducing bend at a rate of 36kg/s. The cross-sectional area, gage pressure, and velocity are 168cm^2, 57.5 kPa, and 2.10 m/s at the inlet, and 80cm^2, 50kPa, and 4.37 m/s at the outlet. Calculate the force applied to the reducing bend by the orange juice in the horizontal direction
4. Hydroelectric plants in the mountains bring water from a reservoir down to a turbine through enclosed tubes. In such plants, the 100 cm diameter intake tube (Point 2) in the dam is 50m below the water surface (Point 1) of the reservoir. The water drops 200 m through the tube before flowing into the turbine through a 50 cm diameter nozzle.
Water flows through a constricted pipe at a uniform rate. At one point, the diameter of the pipe is 0.056 m and the pressure is 5.7 x 104N/m2. At another point, 0.8 m higher than the previous point, the diameter is 0.023 m and the pressure is 1 X 104N/m2 . Calculate the velocities at the lower section and the upper section. Also calculate the rate of flow. Density of water = 1000 kg/m3.
A 3-cm-diameter horizontal pipe attached to a surface makes a 90° turn to a vertical upward direction before the water is discharged at a velocity of 9 m/s. The horizontal section is 5 m long and the vertical section is 4 m long. Neglecting the mass of the water contained in the pipe, the bending moment acting on the base of the pipe on the wall is (a) 286 N·m (b) 229 N·m (c) 207 N·m (d) 175 N·m (e) 124 N·m
A U-tube acts like a water siphon. The elbow in the tube is 1 m above the water surface, the tube outlet is L from point A below. When the length L is 5 m, the water emerges from the bottom of the siphon as free jet at atmospheric pressure. Determine the speed of the free jet and the minimum absolute pressure of the water at the elbow. (Patm= 101325 Pa, dsu=1000 kg/m3)
In this situation, a 90 degree elbow pipe is used to direct water flow in an upwards direction, at a rate of 40 kg/s. Here the diameter of the elbow is 10cm. The water is discharged into the atmosphere and the pressure at exit is at the local atmospheric pressure. Additionally the elevation difference between the centers of exit and inlet of the bend is 50cm. Here, the weight of the elbow pipe and the water is neglible, and the momentum-flux correction factor is 1.03 at both the oulet and inlet. How would I determine the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow? How much anchoring force would be needed to hole the elbow in place. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
