Question: 2 ( a ) Water ( density 1 0 0 0 k g m - 3 ) is maintained at a gauge pressure of 4

(a) Water (density 1000kgm-3) is maintained at a gauge pressure of 4.5 MPa in a horizontal pipe of diameter 120 mm . It is passed through a nozzle of diameter 16 mm which discharges a horizontal jet into the atmosphere. If the frictional losses reduce the theoretical discharge velocity by 7% in this process, calculate the actual velocity of the jet and its flowrate in kgs-1.
(b) This jet strikes an upward curved vane moving at 20ms-1 in a horizontal direction away from the jet, which deflects the water through an angle of 115. The impact is shockless. Calculate:
(i) the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the fluid leaving the vane;
(ii) the thrust on the vane in a horizontal direction;
(iii) the thrust on the vane in a vertical direction;
(iv) the power generated by the impact in the horizontal direction.
