Question: A 1 5 0 mm diameter pipe is fitted with a double nozzle with the geometry shown. At section ( 2 ) the exit diameter

A 150 mm diameter pipe is fitted with a double nozzle with the geometry shown. At section (2) the exit diameter of the nozzle is 80 mm and at section (3) the exit diameter is 100 mm. The pipe and both nozzles lie in the same vertical plane. A steady discharge of 0.05 m3/s of water from the pipe at section (1) emerges as jets from the nozzles into the surrounding atmosphere. Energy losses in the flow may be assumed to be negligible.(a) Calculate(i) the flow rate at each nozzle exit, (ii) the water pressure section (1).(b) The double nozzle fitting is attached to the pipe by a bolted flange. The fitting has a material mass of 5 kg and the water volume within it is 0.005 m3. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the resultant force applied to the group of flange bolts for the flow conditions described above.
