Question
Problem 2: Water at 20°C flows through the elbow shown in Fig. 1 and exits to the atmosphere.
The mass flow rate is 18 Kg/s. The pipe diameter is D₁ = 10 cm, while D₂ = 3 cm, and the center
point of exit 2 is 1.2 m directly below the flange center.
Neglecting the weight of water and elbow, and neglecting friction forces,
a)
b)
40°
2
Determine the gage pressure at the flange
located at section1.
Determine the horizontal and the vertical force
required to hold the elbow at the flange 1.
c) Find the torque caused on flange 1.
Ywater = 9810 N/m²³
