Assuming frictionless, incompressible, one-dimensional flow of water through the horizontal tee connection sketched in the figure below, estimate values of (a) the x and (b) y components of the force exerted by the tee on the water. Each pipe has an inside diameter of 1 m. The pressure at section (1) is 229 kPa (gage), the speed of the flow at section (1) is 9 m/s, the volume flowrate at section (3) is 19 mĀ³/s.

Since the diameter (D) is 1 m, the area (A) can be calculated using the formula for the area of a circle, \( A = \pi \times (\frac{D}{2})^2 \). Show moreā¦

Water flows steadily through the pipe fitting shown below and discharges to the atmosphere at point 3. The pipe fitting is held in place so that it does not move, and you will need to calculate the forces required to hold it, using the information provided below. Ģwater = 1000 kg/m^3 P1 = 41 kPa gauge D1 = 8.4 cm V1 = 7 m/s P2 = 26 kPa gauge D2 = 6.1 cm V2 = 3.4 m/s D3 = 5.8 cm

Water is discharged at a flow rate of $0.3 \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{s}$ from a narrow slot in a 200 -mm-diameter pipe. The resulting horizontal twodimensional jet is $1 \mathrm{m}$ long and $20 \mathrm{mm}$ thick, but of nonuniform velocity, the velocity at location (2) is twice that at location (1). The pressure at the inlet section is $50 \mathrm{kPa}$ (gage). Calculate (a) the velocity in the pipe and at locations (1) and (2) and (b) the forces required at the coupling to hold the spray pipe in place. Neglect the mass of the pipe and the water it contains.
Fresh water flows horizontally from pipe section 1 of cross-sectional area $A_{1}$ into pipe section 2 of cross-sectional area $A_{2 .}$ Figure $14-52$ gives a plot of the pressure difference $p_{2}-p_{1}$ versus the inverse area squared $A_{1}^{-2}$ that would be expected for a volume flow rate of a certain value if the water flow were laminar under all circumstances. The scale on the vertical axis is set by $\Delta p_{s}=300 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{2}$ . For the conditions of the figure, what are the values of (a) $A_{2}$ and $(\mathrm{b})$ the volume flow rate?
