A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 40 kg/s. 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 centers 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. Determine (a) the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1 .03 at both the inlet and the outlet.

- A fan running at 1480 rpm takes in 6 m^3/min of air at inlet conditions of P_1=950 mbar and T_1=15^0 C. If the fan impeller dimeter is 40 cm and the table tip air angle 20^0, determine the total pressure developed by the fan and the impeller width at exit. Take the radial velocity at the exit as 0.2 times the impeller tip speed. State the assumptions used.arrow_forwardA 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.

The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference betwoen the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 35 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible.

- 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.arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardThe water level in a tank is 20 m above the ground. A hose is connected to the bottom of the tank, and the nozzle at the end of the hose is pointed straight up. The tank is at sea level, and the water surface is open to the atmosphere. In the line leading from the tank to the nozzle is a pump, which increases the pressure of water. If the water jet rises to a height of 27 m from the ground, determine the minimum pressure rise supplied by the pump to the water line.arrow_forward
- A simple pitot tube and a piezometer are installed in a vertical pipe as shown in the figure. If the deflection in the mercury manometer is 0.1 m, then determine the velocity of the water at the center of the pipe. The densities of water and mercury are 1000 kg/m3 and 13600 kg/m3 , respectively.arrow_forwardA 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.arrow_forwardWater flowing in a horizontal 25-cm-diameter pipe at 8 m/s and 300 kPa gage enters a 90° bend reducing section, which connects to a 15-cm-diameter vertical pipe. The inlet of the bend is 50 cm above the exit. Neglecting any frictional and gravitational effects, determine the net resultant force exerted on the reducer by the water.
