**Understanding T-Joints in Fluid Mechanics**A T-joint is a common piping component used to combine or separate fluid flows. In this educational example, we explore a T-joint with two inlets and one outlet to determine the flow rate through the outlet and the forces necessary to hold the T-joint in place. The working fluid in this scenario is water. **System Details:**- **Inlet 1:** Located to the left, with a diameter of 6 cm, allowing water in at a velocity of \(4 \, \text{m/s}\).- **Inlet 2:** Located to the right, this inlet has a volume flow rate of \(1 \, \text{L/s}\) and a diameter of 4 cm.- **Outlet:** With a diameter of 12 cm, it faces upwards against gravity.**Objectives:**1. **Velocity through the second inlet:** - Calculated velocity: \(0.80 \, \text{m/s}\)2. **Velocity through the outlet:** - Calculated velocity: \(1.09 \, \text{m/s}\)3. **Reaction Forces:** - Forces needed to hold the T-joint in place are calculated in both x and y directions: - \(x\)-direction: \(-181.7 \, \text{N}\) - \(y\)-direction: \(1156 \, \text{N}\)**Key Assumptions:**- Viscosity losses are negligible.- The outlet discharges to the atmosphere.- The weight of both the T-joint and the fluid within it is negligible.This analysis provides insights into fluid dynamics principles and showcases the importance of understanding flow rates and force calculations in piping systems.

A t-joint is another common piping component, typically used to combine or separate flows of fluid. This t-joint has two inlets and one outlet. We want to find the flow rate through the outlet and the force to hold the t-joint in place. The working fluid is water. One inlet, open to the left, is 6 cm diameter and receives water at a velocity of 4 m s-¹. The other inlet, open to the right, has a volume flow rate of 1 Ls¹ and a diameter of 4 cm. If the outlet has a diameter of 12 cm and faces upwards with regard to gravity, determine: (a) the velocity through the second inlet. [0.80 m s-¹] (b) the velocity through the outlet. [1.09 m s-¹] (c) the reaction forces (x, y directions) to hold the t-joint in place [x: -181.7 N, y: 1156 N] Losses due to viscosity are assumed negligible. The outlet discharges to atmosphere. The weight of the t-joint and the fluid within it are negligible.
