A common piping component is a u-bend or return bend. Assume we have a u-bend redirecting a flow of water, and we need to determine the force required to hold it in place. The water enters flowing to the right at 10 ms. The u-bend completely reverses the direction of the flow, so the water leaves flowing to the left. The area of the u-bend is constant, a circular cross-section of 12 cm diameter. The pressure in the fluid is measured at 50 kPa. The length of the u-bend is 46 cm. Find the force, including magnitude and direction, to hold the u-bend in place [x: -3.4 kN, y: 51.0 N].

4. A pipe has an initial radius of 30cm, which then changes to a radius of 10cm. The velocity of the water in the initial part of the pipe is 2m/s. The segment of the pipe with the smaller radius is also 0.5 m higher than the initial pipe segment. What is the pressure difference between the two parts of the pipe? (6 pts) b) What is the volume flow rate in the pipe? (3 pts)
The Water is flowing through a pipe having diameter 350 mm and 210 mm at the bottom and upper end respectively.

A water supplying pipe of diameter 14 cm, is used to pump the water to the house in the Tanuf hill at the height of 60 m above the ground. The flowrate at the end of the pipe is 180 lit/s. The pressure gauge is connected at the inlet of the pipe in the ground and measured as 35.5 N/cm2. Find the following: (i) The kinetic energy per unit weight at the entry of pipe (in m) (ii) Pressure head at the inlet (in m) (iii) Total available energy per unit weight of the water at the pipe entry (unit in m)
Centrifugal pump is a kinetic device and uses the centrifugal force to push out the fluid. So the liquid entering the pump receives kinetic energy from the rotating impeller. The centrifugal action of the impeller accelerates the liquid to a high velocity, transferring mechanical (rotational) energy to the liquid. What makes Centrifugal Pump not to beclassified as a Positive Displacement Type of Pump? Is that the reason why cavitation will occur in centrifugal pumps and not in Displacement pump?
