Question: Problem 4 ( 1 0 points ) Consider steady flow of water over a bent circular tube with a radius R = 0 . 1

Problem 4(10 points) Consider steady flow of water over a bent circular tube with a
radius R=0.1m as shown in the figure. At the entrance "1", the pressure is uniform
P1=301kPa and the velocity is uniform with a magnitude |v1|=8ms. At the exit "2",
the pressure is uniform and atmospheric, P2=101kPa, and the velocity is parabolic
and satisfies the no-slip condition on the tube wall as shown. Neglect the weight of the
water inside the bend and the weight of the pipe. Use control volume analysis (you must
draw and show your control volume, as well as your coordinate system) to:
(a) Find the maximum velocity at Section "2";
(b) Find the anchoring force required to hold the bend stationary. Use arrows to
indicate the directions of the two force components.
