Question
A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate m of 40 kg/s. The diameter of the entire
elbow is 10 cm. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere, and thus the pressure at the exit is the local
atmospheric pressure. The elevation difference between the centers of the exit and the inlet of the elbow is 50 cm. The
weight of the elbow and the water in it is considered to be negligible. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m3 and the
momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet.
