A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate m of 40 kg/s. The diameter of the entire elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. 50 cm Water m kg/s DATUM: Assume positive up and to the right Determine the gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow. The gage pressure at the center of the inlet of the elbow is kPa.

Consider a system where a horizontal, laminar, separated flow of air and water at 100 kPa pressure and 20 C temperature are moving between two infinitely-sized parallel plates. The water flow is not forced, but is carried along by the air flow. The 'superficial velocity' of the air is 0.1 m/s (superficial velocity is volume flow rate / flow area, representing the average velocity of the flow). The depth of the water film is 2 mm and the thickness of the air layer is 5 mm. Use the multiphase balance equations and interfacial boundary conditions to derive the velocity profile in the air and water, with y=0 being the interface between the two.
