Crude oil (SG = 0.97) enters the middle section of a vertical distillation column as it flows down a stainless-steel expanding bend (pss = 7830 kg/m, Vtotal = 0.127 m, and void fraction (fvoid) = 0.961) that connecting a 4.18-cm pipe and an 8.36-cm pipe. The outlet pressure of the bend is 325.4 kPa. The head loss of bend could be calculated as h = Kv/2g, where the resistance coefficient (K) equals to 3.81 and the velocity (v) is the velocity of fluid in smaller pipe. The fluid flow rate is 0.032 m/s. Assume negligible major frictional losses. V Fr Fp 23.319 m/s, -5.83 m/s (incomplete) 970 kg/m, 105.6 m Fp (a) Calculate the velocity at point 1 and 2.
