Weebly

As shown, a 90o reducing elbow is located in a horizontal plane (gravitational effects are unimportant), through which water is flowing. The retaining force Fx and Fy are required to keep the elbow in place. Neglecting frictional loss, D1 = 0.20 m, D2 = 0.15 m, p1 = 1.5 bar (gage), u1 = 6.0 m/s. 1 bar = 105 Pa. Water density is 1000 kg/m3 ... ................
