A common piping component is a u-bend or return bend. Assume we have a u-bend redirecting a flow of water, and we need to determine the force required to hold it in place. The water enters flowing to the right at 10 ms. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the water leaves flowing to the left. The area of the u-bend is constant, a circular cross-section of 12 cm diameter. The pressure in the fluid is measured at 50 kPa. The length of the u-bend is 46 cm. Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place [x: -3.4 kN, y: 51.0 N].

Fire safety

Fire safety is a new domain emerged in the early 90s to enable the design of buildings, structures, and infrastructure against destruction through fire. It also includes the provisions of building codes. This field is mostly associated with the design and efficient planning of a building, to reduce the destruction caused by fire. The branch of engineering that deals with it for the safety of the buildings from destruction of fire, is known as fire safety engineering.
