Transport Phenomena Question

2. Water at 60°F is flowing through a reducing pipe fitting in the
horizontal plane as shown below at a volumetric flow rate of
Q = 4.5 ft/s at steady-state. The inlet has a diameter of Di = 12 in.
and a pressure of Pi = 7.0 psig while the outlet has a diameter
D2 = 2.5 in. and a pressure of P2 = 1.5 psig. The weight of the
fitting and water is W = 8.0 lbr. Determine the components of force
in the x, y, and z directions required to hold the fitting stationary.

Follow-up Question

A nozzle is attached to the end of a 3-in. diameter water pipe. A jet of water with a diameter
of 1.5-in. discharges into the open atmosphere. The pressure in the pipe is P1 = 60 psig and
the rate of discharge of 60o
F water at steady-state is Q = 400 gal/min. Calculate the
magnitude and direction of the force necessary to hold the nozzle to the pipe.
