Water at 75 degrees Celsius is flowing horizontally at a rate of 1.6 m^3/min in a pipe. It enters a 3-in 45 degree elbow and is diverted upwards into a connecting pipe. The diameter of the outlet is 2in. If the pressure just before the elbow is 78 kPa, determine the magnitude and direction of the force necessary to keep the elbow in place. Assume frictional losses in the elbow are negligible.

Two water reservoirs A and B are connected to each other through a 40-m-long, 2-cm-diameter cast iron pipe with a sharp-edged entrance. The pipe also involves a swing check valve and a fully open gate valve. The water level in both reservoirs is the same, but reservoir A is pressurized by compressed air while reservoir B is open to the atmosphere at 95 kPa. If the initial flow rate through the pipe is 1.5 L/s, determine the absolute air pressure on top of reservoir A. Take the water temperature to be 10°C.

A clothes dryer discharges air at 1 atm and 120°F at a rate of 1.2 ft3/s when its 5-in-diameter, well-rounded vent with negligible loss is not connected to any duct. Determine the flow rate when the vent is connected to a 15-ft-long, 5-in-diameter duct made of galvanized iron, with three 90° flanged smooth bends. Take the friction factor of the duct to be 0.019, and assume the fan power input to remain constant.
A pump has a required NPSH of 3.0 m. Assuming that the pump is elevated at 3.5 m above sea level, determine if cavitation occurs when water at 65°C in an open tank is transported and the velocity in the pipe is 1.5 m/s. Total friction loss is considered negligible in the process.
