Tutorial 6B

This document outlines Homework #5 for a Fluid Mechanics course, focusing on the momentum equation and various problems related to fluid flow through pipes and nozzles. It includes tasks such as calculating resultant forces on pipes, horizontal forces on nozzle flanges, and forces on elbows and nozzles under specific conditions. The homework is due on February 26, 2024, and emphasizes the application of fluid mechanics principles in practical scenarios.

Homework #5 (Momentum equation)
Due on: 26th February (Monday)

1. Water flows through constant area pipes of the form shown below. Mark the directions of the
resultant forces, if any, on the pipes if friction is neglected.

2. Obtain the horizontal force acting on the flange AA of the nozzle assembly shown if the
pressure at point 1 is 105 Pa gauge and the water issues as a free jet into the atmosphere. Take
Q̇ = 2 m3/s.

3. Water flows through the reducing elbow shown below, at the rate of 1 m3/s. The gauge pressure
at 1 is 0.1 MPa, and that at 2 is 0.09 MPa. What is the resultant force on the elbow? Neglect the
weight of water.
4. A jet of water issues out of a fireman's nozzle at 6 m/s as shown in th figure below. If the gauge
pressure at section 1 is 1.8⨯104 Pa, estimate the force in each of the eight bolts connecting the
nozzle to the pipe. Note that each bolt is in tension, that is, the nozzle has a tendency to pull on
the hose. Does this mean that the fireman holding the hose is tugged forward? Explain.

5. Assuming that v1 = v2 = v3 and that the force exerted by the water on the stationary plate shown
in the figure below acts normally, obtain the volume flow rates Q̇2 and Q̇3 . Also obtain the
normal force Fn. (Consider zero gauge pressure everywhere inside the fluid, i.e., the fluid is
open to atmosphere).

6. The sluice gate on a dam is raised to allow the flow of water as shown below in the figure.
Esimate the force acting on the gate per unit width (perprndicular to the page). Assume 1-D
flow downstream of the gate and the pressure distributions to be hydrostatic for upstream and
downstream.
