Find the magnitude and direction of force needed to hold the pipe if the flow velocity was 6ms'. Gage pressure on the entry and exit were recorded to be 29.43x103 MPa and 28.56×103 MPa, respectively. Neglect the pipe friction, the weight of the water and pipe bend. Also assume momentum-flux correction factor to be B = 1.0.

The diameter of a pipe changes gradually from 6 inches at A to 18 inches at B. A is 15 ft lower than B. If the pressure at A is 10 lbs per square inch and at B, 7 lbs per square inch when there are 5.0 cubic ft per second flowing, determine: a. the direction of flow. b. the frictional loss between the two points B.
