Question
The diameter of a pipe bend is 250 mm at the inlet and 100 mm at the outlet. The 20
L/s flow is deflected through 135° in a vertical plane. The axis at the inlet is horizontal
and the center of the outlet section is 1.2 m below the center of the inlet section. The
total volume of fluid contained in the bend is 0.05 m³. Neglecting friction, determine
the magnitude and direction of the net force exerted by the water flowing through the
reducer if the inlet pressure is 100 kPa. Include the weight of the water in the reducer.
