Chapter 10, Problem 11P

1.) A horizontal pipe bent reduces
from 300 mm bore diameter at inlet
to 150 mm diameter at outlet. The
bend is swept through 50° from its
initial direction. The flow rate is 0.05
m3/s and the density is 1000 kg/m³.
Calculate the momentum force on
the bend and resolve it into two
perpendicular directions relative to
the initial direction.
2.) A jet of water traveling with a
velocity of 25 m/s and flow rate of
0.4 kg/s is deflected 150° from its
initial direction by a stationary vane.
Calculate the force on the vane
acting parallel to and perpendicular
to the initial direction.
Example 1.13. A jet of water, 60 mm in diameter, strikes a curved vane at its centre with a
velocity of 18 m/s. The curved vane is moving with a velocity of 6 m/s in the direction of the jet. The
jet is deflected through an angle of 165°. Assuming the plate to be smooth, find:
(i) Thrust on the plate in the direction of jet,
(ii) Power of the jet, and
(iii) Efficiency of the jet.
