Question

Water at 20 degree C flows steadily through a vertical reducing pipe bend, as below Known conditions are p1 = 450 kPa, D1 = 25 cm. V1, = 2.2 m/s, and D2 = 8 cm. Neglecting the weight of the bend and the weight of the water, estimate the total force that must be resisted by the flange bolts. All pipes in this network are 1 foot in diameter and at the same elevation. Assume f = 0.018. Determine the distribution of flow for the given system. What is the pressure at load F if the pressure at source A is 30 psig? What will be the discharge in this water system if the pump has the characteristics shown in the figure below? Assume f = 0.018. Neglect minor losses.
