Question: The valve, which is screwed into the fixed pipe at section A-A, is designed to discharge fresh water at the rate of 340 gal/min into
The valve, which is screwed into the fixed pipe at section A-A, is designed to discharge fresh water at the rate of 340 gal/min into the atmosphere in the x-y plane as shown. Water pressure at A-A is 150 lb/in.2 gage. The flow area at A-A has a diameter of 2 in., and the diameter of the discharge area at B is 1in. Neglect the weight of the valve and water within it and compute the shear V, tension F, torsion T, and bending moment M at section A-A. (1 gallon contains 231 in.3)
