A 10 cm, 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe directs flow of water upward at a rate of 40 kg/s. The elevation difference between centers of the pipe exit and the inlet to the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and water can be neglected. The momentum flux correction factor is 1.03 at both elbow inlet and outlet. Find: a. gauge pressure at the inlet to the elbow in kPa b. magnitude of anchoring force need to...
Water flows through a pipe under gravity flow. The pipe drops 4 m in elevation for every 140 m of horizontal pipe. Determine the diameter of pipe (in cm) that would be required to carry 190 L/s of water using the Manning Equation. Assume n = 0.013.
Question 3 (12 marks) A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 25 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward by an angle 0=60° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The diameter of the elbow at the inlet isl9 cm and at the exit 2 cm. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet is 36 cm. The mass of the elbow and the...
4. A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 30 lbm/s in a horizontal pipe upward by an angle 30° from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The diameter of the elbow is 4 inch at the inlet and 2 inch at the exit. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and inlet is 40 inch.

Water is conveyed through a rough concrete pipe with diameter of 0.75 m and absolute porosity of 3 mm that connects two ponds. Determine the flow rate if the elevation difference between the two ponds is 10 m and the pipe length is 1,000 m. Neglect minor losses.
3. Water flows through a circular channel that has a diameter of d= 75 mm at both the inlet and outlet, as shown below. The fluid enters with uniform velocity U = 7.5 m/s. The channel makes a 90° bend that distorts the flow to produce the velocity profile at the outlet described by the function, v(r) = Vmax ( 1 -722 Assume steady, incompressible flow. Density of water is 1000 kg/m² a) Find the value of Vmax. b) Find...
2 Underground water is to be pumped by a 80 percent efficient 10-kW submerged pump to a pool whose free surface is X m above the underground water level (see Figure 2). The diameter of the pipe is 10 cm on the intake side and 8 cm on the discharge side. Determine (a) the maximum flow rate of water and (b) the pressure difference across the pump. Assume the elevation difference between the pump inlet and the outlet and the...
Water is flowing through a 10-cm-diameter water pipe at a rate of 0.1 m/s. Then, a diffuser with an outlet diameter of 20 cm is bolted to the pipe in order to slow down water as it exits the diffuser to atmospheric pressure, as shown in the given figure. Disregarding frictional effects, determine the force exerted on the bolts due to the water flow. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 -t- d 10 cmm D = 20...
Water is flowing through a 10-cm diameter water pipe at a rate of 0.2 m^3/s. Now a diffuser with an outlet diameter of 20 cm is bolted to the pipe in order to slow down water that exits into the atmosphere, as shown. Disregarding frictional effects, determine the force exerted on the flange due to the water flow. Density of water = 1,000 kg/m^3. + d = 10 cm D = 20 cm Diffuser
20. A cylindrical water tower of diameter 3.0 m supplies water to a house. The level of water in the water tower is 35 m above the point where the water enters the house through a pipe that has an inside diameter 5.0 cm. The pressure at the top of the water tower is I ATM and the water in the cylindrical tank flows slowly at a speed of 0.01 cm/s. At what speed does the water flow in the...
