A nuclear reactor is cooled with liquid sodium, which is transferred through the reactor core using the electromagnetic pump. The sodium moves through a pipe at Ã having a diameter of 3 in., with a velocity of 15 ft/s and pressure of 17 psi , and passes through the rectangular duct, where it is pumped by an electromagnetic force giving it a 30-ft pumphead. It emerges at B through a 2-in.-diameter pipe. Take Na = 53.2 lb/ft³ . Assume the fluid is an ideal fluid, that is, incompressible and frictionless. (Figure 1) 15 ft/s 3 in. Determine the magnitude of the restraining force F on each arm, needed to hold the pipe in place. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
