A common piping component is a u-bend or return bend. Assume we have a u-bend redirecting a flow of water, and
we need to determine the force required to hold it in place.
The water enters flowing to the right at 10 ms-¹. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the
water leaves flowing to the left. The area of the u-bend is constant, a circular cross-section of 12 cm diameter. The
pressure in the fluid is measured at 50 kPa. The length of the u-bend is 46 cm.
Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place [x: -3.4 kN, y: 51.0 N].
Include a free body diagram Water enters a pump at 350 kPa at a rate of 1 kg/s. The water leaving the pump enters a turbine in which the pressure is reduced and electricity is produced. The shaft power input to the pump is 1 KW snd the shaft power output the turbine is 1 kW. Both the pump and turbine are 90% efficient. If the elevation and velocity of the water remain constant through out the flow and irreversible headloss is 1 m, the pressure of water in kPa at the turbine exit isA. 126B. 131C. 127D. 129
The tank below is cylindrical and has a vertical axis. Its horizontal cross-sectional area is 10 m2. The tank
has a layer of water under a layer of gasoline (S.G= 0.72). Three holes were drilled in the tank, one at the
bottom of the tank, the second hole is in the water layer, 2 m from the bottom. The third hole was drilled
