Question
In indoor plumbing, water must often be redirected and split when a pipe approaches a wall. Consider a situation like this in which the pipes are all horizontally oriented. Water is flowing at a velocity of 13 feet per second in a pipe of 9-in diameter at 28 psi before it is split in the tee pictured here into two pipes of 2-in diameter. Assume that the exiting flowrate in each of the branches of the tee are equal. What is the force in pounds of the water on the tee?
Though the tee appears to be vertically oriented in the drawing so that you can see how the water is flowing, the tee is horizontally oriented.

- Please help!arrow_forwardRequired information A 90° elbow in a horizontal pipe is used to direct water flow upward at a rate of 41 kg/s. Another identical elbow is attached to the existing elbow such that the water flow makes a U-turn as shown in the second figure. 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 momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 at both the inlet and the outlet. Take the density of water to be 1000 kg/m³. Water m kg/s L.
