Water flowing steadily at a rate of 0.16 m3/s is deflected downward by an angled elbow as shown. For D = 30 cm, d = 10 cm, and h = 50 cm, determine the force acting on the flanges of the elbow and the angle its line of action makes with the horizontal. Take the internal volume of the elbow to be 0.03 m3 and the weight of the elbow whose masss is 5kg.
Consider a wind turbine with a 90 m blade span subjected to steady wind is used to generate electric power. The combined turbine generator efficiency of the wind turbine is 30 percent. If the horizontal force exerted by the wind on the supporting mast is 100 + 64 KN. Determine (a) the wind velocity and (b) the power generated by the turbine. Take the density of air to be 1.25 kg/m3, and disregard frictional effects.
A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 95 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward 45° while accelerating it (Figure below). The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere (ρ= 1000 kg/m3). The crosssectional area of the elbow is 113 cm2 at the inlet and 7 cm2 at the outlet. The elevation difference between the centers of the outlet and the inlet is 30 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine(a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force FRZ needed to hold the elbow in place.
Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 0.5 kg/s. The velocity at the inlet is 1.5 m/s and that at the outlet is 11.5 m/s. The hose makes a 180° turn before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.04 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force required to hold the hose in place is:
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.
The adjacent picture shows a pipe section in which a reduction sleeve (nozzle) is connected to the pipe by a flanged bolted connection. You have D1=8 cm, D2=5 cm, and the water is at 20C. Point 2 is open to the atmosphere. Consider that the specific mass of the water is 1,000 kg/m3, and that the momentum flux correction factor is unity. If V1=5 m/s and the mercury manometer indicates that h=58 cm, determine the reaction force on the flange bolts.
A 60-kg ice skater is standing on ice with ice skates (negligible friction). She is holding a flexible hose (essentially weightless) that directs a 2-cm-diameter stream of water horizontally parallel to her skates. The water velocity at the hose outlet is 10 m/s relative to the skater. If she is initially standing still, determine (a) the velocity of the skater and the distance she travels in 5 s and (b) how long it will take to move 5 m and the velocity at that moment.
Consider water flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 30 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.3 m/s and that at the outlet is 11.75 m/s. The hose makes a 180° turn before the water is discharged. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.08 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force (in N; hint: the answer is a negative number) required to hold the hose in place is ?

Water is flowing through a 15-cm-diameter pipe that consists of a 3-m-long vertical and 2-m-long horizontal section with a 90° elbow at the exit to force the water to be discharged downward, as shown, in the vertical direction. Water discharges to atmospheric air at a velocity of 5 m/s, and the mass of the pipe section when filled with water is 17 kg per meter length. Determine the moment acting at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal sections of the pipe (point A). What would your answer be if the flow were discharged upward instead of downward?
Q6) (a) Two sites are being considered for wind power generation. In the first site, the wind blows steadily at 7 m/s for 3000 hours per year, whereas in the second site the wind blows at 10 m/s for 2000 hours per year. Assuming the wind velocity is negligible at other times for simplicity; determine which a better site is for wind power generation. Hint: Note that the mass flow rate of air is proportional to wind velocity. (Take the density of air to be ? = 1.25 kg/m3).
Water is flowing through a 15-cm-diameter pipe that consists of a 3-m-long vertical and 2-m-long horizontal section with a 90° elbow at the exit to force the water to be discharged downward, as shown in Fig. P6–55, in the vertical direction.
