ANALYSIS ONLY A 180 reducing elbow attached to a honzontal pipe dinlet dia, 01, mm) is used to direct water flow. The diameter of e bow tapers gradually to an exit diameter of D2mm as shown in the figure Water is being freely discharged into the atmosphere through the elbow exit at rate of m(dotyka/s. The centre line of the exit elbow is situated at a helght ot, 1, mm above from the centre line of the Inlet. The mass of the elbow and the water in it can be taken as W kg. Assume the density of water as 1000 kg/m Relevant Data: Diameter of inlet pipe (D1)=200 mm Diameter of inlet pipe (D2)= 120 mm Mass flow rate 'midot) - 20 kg/ h = 1100 mm W-55kg 02 mm Reducing elbow hemm Wik Mass flow rate, kas D1, mm Not to scale Complete the following on your answer sheets) (a) Write down three (3) valid assumption. (3 MARKS) (b) Calculate the iniet and outlet velocities of the flow through the elbow. (4 MARKS) () Determine the gauge pressures at the centre of the niet and outlet of the elbow.
