Part 1 Correct. Water flows through a horizontal, pipe bend as is illustrated in the figure below. The flow cross section area is constant at a value of 9000 mm2. The flow velocity everywhere in the bend is 15 m/s. The pressures at the entrance and exit of the bend are 210 and 149 kPa, respectively. Calculate the horizontal (x and y) components of the anchoring force needed to hold the bend in place (a) What is the density of...
Water flow a rate of 0.5 m3 /s rising through a 50 o contracting pipe bend. The diameter at the bend entrance is 700 mm and at the exit 500 mm as shown in Figure 1. If the pressure at the entrance to the bend is 200 kN/m2 , determine the magnitude and direction of the force exerted by the fluid on the bend. The exit entrance of the bend is 0.4 m higher than the entrance and the bend...

Water flows through the pipe bend shown in Fig Q1d, which lies in the horizontal plane. If the volume flow-rate is 1.0 L/s and the pipe diameter is 30 mm, calculate the mean velocity in the pipe and the force that the water imposes on the pipe if the inlet pressures is 1.1 bar and the outlet pressure is 1.0 bar.

Water at 20 C is steadily flowing through a diverging pipe section that is inclined by an angle of 30° with respect to the horizontal (See the figure) The total testing section length is 20 m long with an initial pipe diameter of 10 mm (Section 1) and final diameter of 20 mm (Section 2). The small diameter section shows a gage pressure of 100 kPa and average flow velocity 10 m/s. Other values will be obtained by reaching complete...
Problem 3 A pipeline delivers water from Reservoir 1 to Reservoir 2 as shown in the following figure. The water levels at Reservoirs 1 and 2 are 50 ft and 20 ft, respectively. A globe valve is installed in the pipeline with a minor head loss coefficient k 10. The pipe from Reservoir 1 to the globe valve is 1000 ft long and 6 inches in diameter. The pipe from the globe valve to Reservoir 2 is also 1000 ft...
