Question: A bend in a water piping system is shown below. Water comes in horizontally at A and leaves from the other opening at B.
A bend in a water piping system is shown below. Water comes in horizontally at A and leaves from the other opening at B. The cross-sectional area is constant at a value of 0.033 m. The volumetric flow rate of water is 0.170 m/s. The absolute pressures at the entrance and exit of the bend are 356 kPa and 185 kPa, respectively. The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. The density of water is 1000 kg/m. 140 a) What is the anchoring force (in the vector form) to hold the bend? b) Calculate the minor loss coefficient of this bend (gravitational effect is negligible).
