Chapter 2, Problem 2.12P
Consider a length of pipe bent into a U-shape. The inside diameter of the pipe is 0.5 m. Air enters one leg of the pipe at a mean velocity of 100 m/s and exits the other leg at the same magnitude of velocity, but moving in the opposite direction. The pressure of the flow at the inlet and exit is the ambient pressure of the surroundings. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force exerted on the pipe by the airflow. The air density is

Water is flowing through a U-section pipe as shown in Figure 1.2. At flange (1) the total absolute
pressure is 240 kPa, and water flows into the pipe at 42 kg/s. At flange (2), the total pressure
measured is 190 kPa with a flow rate of 32 kg/s. At point (3) water discharges into the
atmosphere at 90 kPa at a flow rate of 10 kg/s. The mass of the elbow and the water in it is 50

The design speed of the aircraft is 69m/s into still air and at this speed experience allows the engineer to assume a propeller efficiency of 0.8.
