Question

Problem #1 Water flowing steadily at a rate of 0.16 m³/s is deflected downward by an angled elbow as shown in the figure. The water volume of the elbow to be 0.03 m³. Neglect the frictional effects, take water density 1000 kg/m³. For $D = 30$ cm, $d = 10$ cm, and $h = 50$ cm, determine: 1. Pressure at elbow inlet section. 2. The force acting on the flanges of the elbow.

Water flowing steadily at a rate of 0.16 m^3/s is deflected downward by an angled elbow as shown in the figure. The water volume of the elbow is 0.03 m^3. Neglect the frictional effects and take the water density as 1000 kg/m^3. For D = 30 cm, d = 10 cm, and h = 50 cm, determine: 1. Pressure at the elbow inlet section. 2. The force acting on the flanges of the elbow.
