Question

Please complete and provide working to the following question below

A large pump supplies 0.585 cumecs at 620 kPa downward into a 75 degree steel bend that expands from 300 mm into a 450 mm horizontal pipeline lain in a hard clay soil. The 75degree bend is contained within a vertical plane, and the elevation difference between the inlet and outlet of the bend is 0.685 m. When the bend is full of water, their combined mass is 114 kg. Calculate the area of the thrust block necessary to bear the force from this pipe bend.

Explanation / Answer

Use conservation of energy and momentum.....energy = pressure *area * distance travelled in the direction of the force ......use the equation and find the area of the thrust block....thanx....do rate 5
