Question

A 180 degree horizontal bend narrows from a 14in. diameter upstream to a 10in. diameter downstream. If the bend discharges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 20 cfs, determine
(a) thevelocity(ft/s)in14-in-sectionofthepipe,

(b) thevelocity(ft/s)in10-in-sectionofthepipe,

(c) FP (lb), and
(d) FR (lb) required to hold the bend in place.

A 180° horizontal bend narrows from a 14-in.-diameter upstream to a 10–in.-diameter downstream. If
the bend discharges water into the atmosphere at a rate of 20 cfs, determine
(a) the velocity (ft/s) in 14-in-section of the pipe,
(b) the velocity (ft/s) in 10-in-section of the pipe,
(c) Fp (Ib), and
(d) FR (Ib) required to hold the bend in place.
