Similarly,
Momentum of fluid AA’B’B = ρ1 A1 v12δt
Hence
change of momentum of fluid between AB and CD in unit time
= ρ2 A2 v22δt - ρ1 A1 v12δt
Dividing by δt
Rate of change of momentum of fluid between AB and CD
= ρ2 A2 v22 - ρ1 A1 v12
By assuming the densities of the fluid at entry and exit sections remain
the same, hence
Rate of change of momentum between AB and CD
= ρ*(Q2v2 – Q1v1) (6.1)
This is the resultant force acting on the fluid element ABCD in the
direction of motion.

Fluid Mechanics Chapter 6 – Momentum Equation
For any control volume, the total force F which acts upon it in a given
direction will be made up of three component forces:
The force R exerted by the fluid on the solid body inside or coinciding
with the control volume in the given direction will be equal and
opposite to F1 so that
R = -F1 (6.4)

In the direction parallel to the plate, the force exerted will depend on
the shear stress between the fluid and the surface of the plate.
For an ideal fluid, there would be no shear stress and no force parallel
to the plate. The fluid would flow out over the plates so that the total
momentum per second parallel to the plate remained unchanged.
The control volume taken is fixed relative to the plate. The x direction
is chosen perpendicular to the surface of the plate.
The gravity force F2 is negligible and if the fluid in the jet is assumed
to be at atmospheric pressure throughout, F3 is zero. Thus,
R = - ρ*Q*(vout - vin)x
= ρ*Q *(vin - vout)x (6.5)
Since vin and vout are measured relative to the control volume, which is
fixed relative to the plate, so that
(vin - vout)x = (Initial velocity - Final velocity) relative to the plate in x direction

Therefore,
Force exerted on plate in x direction = ρAv(v cosθ)

Since there are a series of vanes on the wheel, the average length of
the jet from the nozzle to the point of impact remains constant and all
the water from the nozzle strikes one or other of the vanes.

When the fluid is at rest, it will exert a static force on the bend
because the lines of action of the forces due to pressure p1 and p2 do
not coincide. If the bend tapers, the magnitude of the static forces will
also be affected.
The equal and opposite force exerted by the liquid on the pipe is of
particular interest, because this force needs to be taken into account
when designing for the support of the pipe.
The control volume is bounded by the inside wall of the bend and the
inlet and outlet section 1 and 2.

Fluid Mechanics Chapter 6 – Momentum Equation
The force acting on the fluid will be F1 exerted by the walls of the
pipe, F2 due to gravity (which will be zero), and F3 due to the pressure
p1 and p2 of the fluid outside the control volume acting on areas A1
and A2 at sections 1 and 2.
Therefore
Rx = p1A1cosθ - p2A2cosφ - ρQ(v2cosφ - v1cosθ) (6.12)
Resultant F = R x2 + R y2 (6.14)
