Water Runs Through A 45 Reducing Pipe Bend On A Horizontal Plane The Pipe Tapers From 600 Mm Diameter At The Inlet To 1 (108.97 KiB) Viewed 11 times

Water runs through a 45° reducing pipe bend on a horizontal plane. The pipe tapers from 600 mm diameter at the inlet to 300 mm diameter at the outlet (see Figure Q2 below). The pressure at the inlet is 140kPa and the flow rate of water is 0.425 m’s-!. Neglecting frictional losses, calculate the following for a steady state flow a) The average velocity of water at the inlet and the outlet of the pipe bend; [5] b) The pressure at the outlet of the bend; [10] c) The force exerted by the water to the bend. [15] Density of water is 1000 kg m-?. у u2 (1) 300 mm ui 45° 600 mm Figure Q2: schematic of the pipe bend.
