(b) A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 40 kg/s, as shown in the Figure 2. 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 centres 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. i) Draw an appropriate control volume for the flow and state all your assumptions clearly. ii) Determine the gage pressure at the centre of the inlet of the elbow iii) Determine the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place

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)
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.
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.
The impeller of a centrifugal blower has a radius of 15 cm and a blade width of 6.1 cm at the inlet, and a radius of 30 cm and a blade width of 3.4 cm at the outlet. The blower delivers atmospheric air at 20°C and 95 kPa. Disre- garding any losses and assuming the tangential components of air velocity at the inlet and the outlet to be equal to the impeller velocity at respective locations, determine the volu- metric flow rate of air when the rotational speed of the shaft is 800 rpm and the power consumption of the blower is 120 W. Also determine the normal components of velocity at the inlet and outlet of the impeller.
A pump is 2.2 m above the water level in the sump and has a pressure of –20 cm of mercury at the suction side. The suction pipe is of 20 cm diameter and the delivery pipe is short 25 cm diameter pipe ending in a nozzle of 8 cm diameter. If the nozzle is directed vertically upwards at an elevation of 4.2 m above the water sump level, determine the elevation in meters, above the water sump level, to which the jet would reach.

A pipe discharges 142 lps of water into a reservoir at a point 1.85 mbelow the water surface. At point A the diameter is 25.4 cm and the center of thepipe is 1.25 m above the water surface. At the discharge end the pipe is 30.5 cm.If the head loss from A to the reservoir is 0.7 m, determine the pressure in A.
A fully-filled open storage tower of height 32 m and diameter 3.0m supplies water to a house. A horizontal pipe at the base of the tower has a diameter of 2.54cm. To satisfy the needs of the home, the supply pipe must be able to deliver water at a rate of 0.67 gal/s. a. If water were flowing at the maximum rate, what would be the pressure in the horizontal pipe?b. A smaller pipe, of diameter 1.27 cm supplies the second floor of the house, a distance of 7.2 m above the ground level. What are the flow speed and water pressure in this pipe?
A pipe of diameter 40 cm carries a liquid of spec. gravity = 0.94 at a velocity of 24 m/s. The pressuresat points A and B are 294.3 kPa and 224.6 kPa respectively while the elevation head at A and B are 24m and 34 m. Calculate the loss of head between A and B.
Water flows through a circular tube with a constant diameter at a constant flow rate. The outlet is at a height of 3 m above the inlet, and the inlet pressure is 1 kg/cm2•abs and the outlet pressure is 1.75 kg/cm2•abs. If the pump has to supply 15 kg m of energy to 1 kg of water, find the energy loss due to friction.
In an industrial cooling process, water is circulated through a system. If water is pump from the first floor through a 6cm diameter pipe with a speed of 0.45 m/s under a pressure of 400torr, what will be the pressure on the nest floor 4m above into a pipe with diameter 2cm? Show your solution
Water flows at a rate of 1.17L/s through a flanged faucet with a partially closed gate valve spigot. The inner diameter of the pipe at the location of the flange is 2cm, and the pressure at that location is measured to be 90kPa. The total mass of the faucet assembly plus the water within it is 5.7 kg. Calculate the net force on the flange.
