Question 3: Water is flowing into and discharging from a pipe U-section as shown in the figure. At flange (1), the total absolute pressure is 200 kPa, and 55 kg/s flows into the pipe. At flange (2), the total pressure is 150 kPa. At location (3), 15 kg/s of water discharges to the atmosphere, which is at 100 kPa. Determine the total x- and z-forces at the two flanges connecting the pipe. Discuss the significance of gravity force for this problem. Take the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.03 throughout the pipes. 15 kg/s 40 kg/s -10 cm -3 cm 55 kg/s 5 cm Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The weight of the U-turn and the water in it is egligible. 4 The momentum-flux correction factor for each inlet and outlet is given to be = 1.03.
