In mechanical fluid
A water jet with volume flow rate of 3 m³/s is moving in the positive x-
direction at a speed of 6 m/s. The stream hits a stationary splitter, such
that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45º and the other half is
directed downward at 45°, and both streams have a final average speed of
6 m/s. The gravitational effects and friction loss are considered to be
negligible. Determine the x- and z-components of the force required to hold
the splitter in place against the water force. Note that the pressure of the
water jet at inlet and outlet sections is the atmospheric pressure and the
density of water is taken as 1000 kg/m³.
