Question: A 90 reducer elbow deflects water downwards into a smaller diameter pipe. Calculate the mass flow rate, the exit velocity and the resultant force
A 90 reducer elbow deflects water downwards into a smaller diameter pipe. Calculate the mass flow rate, the exit velocity and the resultant force exerted on the reducer by water. Water density is 1000 kg/m. Gauge pressure at the inlet is 300 kPa whilst the gauge pressure at the outlet (small diameter end) is 117.4 kPa. Momentum correction factor is 1.04 for both parts of the pipe. 30 cm Water 5 m/s FR= FRX 15 cm
