Question: Question 2 [ MEENIA , CLO 2 . 4 ] [ 8 marks ] A reducing elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to deflect

Question 2[MEENIA, CLO 2.4][8 marks] A reducing elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to deflect mater flow by an angle \(\theta=45^{\circ}\) from the flow direction while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The cross-sectional area of the elbow is \(150\mathrm{~cm}^{2}\) at the inlet and \(25\mathrm{~cm}^{2}\) at the exit. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet is 40 cm . The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 30 kg .(a) Calculate the velocities at inlet and outlet of the pipe [2 marks].(b) Use the Bernoulli Equation for any gauge pressure calculations and the Momentum Equation [2 marks] to (c) determine \( F_{\text {Rx }}\) and \( F_{R z}\)[3 marks] and calculate the final anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place [1 mark]. Take the momentum flisx correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and outlet. Take the density of water to be \(1000\mathrm{~kg}/\mathrm{m}^{3}\).
