The elbow flow passage volume is 0.52 m3. The water volume flowrate at the inlet is 0.52 m3 /s and the elbow inlet pressure is 164 kPa and outlet pressure at point B and C are 54 kPa. The inlet velocity at point A is 18m/s. Assume the diameter at point C equals the diameter at point B. The elbow mass is 12 kg. Calculate the horizontal (x direction) and vertical (y direction) anchoring forces required to hold the elbow in place.
