Question
A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 14 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward 30°
while accelerating it (see picture below). The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The
cross-sectional area of the elbow is 113 cm? at the inlet and 7 cm? at the outlet. The elevation
difference between the centers of the outlet and the inlet is 30 cm. The weight of the elbow and
the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine (a) the gage pressure at the center of the
inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.
Assume the momentum flux correction factors B at both inlet and outlet equal to 1.03.
