Force of Pressure Conduits and Bend
Consider the case of horizontal flow to the right through the
reducer. A free-body diagram of the forces acting on the fluid
mass contained in the reducer (the control volume (CV) is
shown. We shall apply Fx = ṁ (vx2 – vx1) to this fluid mass to
examine the forces that are acting in the x direction.
ZMAS21718 10
The forces P1A1 and P2A2 represent pressure forces that fluid
located just upstream and just downstream exerts on the control
volume. The forces Fx represents the force exerted by the
reducer on the fluid ( CV) in the x direction.
Neglecting shear forces at the boundary of the reducer, the force
Fx is the resultant (integrated) effect of the normal pressure
forces that the wall of the reducer exerts on the fluid.
since the entry and exit velocities are parallel to the x direction,

Example 17
A water flows in a pipe which bend to the horizontal axis at
450. The inlet pipe’s diameter is 600mm and reduce to 300mm
at the end. Given the inlet’s pressure and flow rate are
140kPa and 0.425 m3/s respectively. Neglecting the friction,
calculate the resultant force at the bend. P2 A2
