A pipe inclined at 45° to the horizontal (Fig. 2) converges over a length l of 2 m from a diameterd1 of 200 mm to a diameter d2 of 100 mm at the upper end. Oil of relative density 0.9 flowsthrough the pipe at a mean velocity ?̅1 at the lower end of 2 m/s. Find the pressure differenceacross the 2 m length ignoring any loss of energy, and the difference in level that would beshown on a mercury manometer connected across this length. The relative density of mercury is 13.6 and the leads to the manometer arefilled with the oil.
The water flows to the nozzle through a 180-degree elbow. The pipe diameter D-75mm, the nozzle diameter d=25mm, and the pressure gauge at the front of the pipe reads 60kPa. Find the force of the upper, middle and lower bolts at the flange joint 1-1 position. Assuming that four bolts are installed at the up, down, front and back, the cross-center distance of the four bolts is 150mm, the weight of the elbow and the water is 100N, and the acting position is shown in the figure. Please use conservation of momentum (momentum equation) and draw the control volume since that is our lesson.
