A converging tube discharges water from a reservoir, into the air, at depth of 6 ft below the water surface. The diameter gradually decreases from 12 inch to 6 inch at the outlet. Neglecting friction, determine the rate of change in cubic feet per second.
A piezometer and a Pitot tube are tapped into a 4-cm diameter horizontal water pipe, and the height of the water columns are measured to be 26 cm in the piezometer and 35 cm in the Pitot tube (both measured from the top surface of the pipe). Determine the velocity at the center of the pipe, in m/s.
A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 47 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. 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 momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³.

A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 43 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. 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.
