Water flows through a horizontal pipe at a rate of 2.3 gal/s. The pipe consists of two sections of diameters 4 in. and 2.2 in. with a smooth reducing section. The pressure difference between the two pipe sections is measured by a mercury manometer. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the differential height of mercury between the two pipe sections.

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 disregard the weight of the elbow material and the frictional effects.

Water flows through a constricted pipe at a uniform rate. At one point, the diameter of the pipe is 0.056 m and the pressure is 5.7 x 104N/m2.

A jet of water with velocity 35 m/s strikes a series of radial curved vane mounted on a wheel which is rotating at 200 rpm.

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.
