Time allowed: 18 minutes 1. (15 pts) A horizontal converging elbow in a pipe section turns water through an angle of 135. If the volumetric flow rate Q = 0.2 m3/s and the elbow inlet gage pressure is 150 kPa, find the z-direction anchoring force on elbow. Indicate your control volume (1 pt), the force magnitude (12 pts), and force direction using the coordinate system below (2 pts). Assume invicscid, incompressible flow, and that = 1000 kg/m3. Hint: A1 = D12/4 = 0.1257 m2 and A2 = A1/4 = 0.03146 m2

2. (6 pts) A water jet with diameter D1 exits a nozzle to atmospheric pressure at a velocity of V1 in the horizontal plane and impinges on a round disk of diameter, D disk, as shown below. (a) (2 pts) Using Bernoullis, what is the velocity at the exit of the control volume, V2? (b) (1 pt) Using conservation of mass, what is the exit area, A2? (c) (2 pts) Write an equation for the force required to keep the disk stationary. Simplify by cancelling any zero terms.
