Assignment-5

1. Water at 298 K discharges from a nozzle and travels horizontally, hitting a

flat, vertical wall. The nozzle has a diameter of 12 mm and the water leaves
the nozzle with a flat velocity profile at a velocity of 6.0 m/s. Neglecting
frictional resistance of the air on the jet, calculate the force in newtons on
the wall.
2. Water at a steady-state rate of 0.050 m3/s is flowing through an expanding
bend that changes direction by 120°. The upstream diameter is 0.0762 m
and the downstream diameter is 0.2112 m. The upstream pressure is
68.94 kPa gage. Neglect energy losses within the elbow and calculate the
downstream pressure at 298 K. Also calculate Rx and Ry.
3. The momentum velocity correction factor β is defined as follows for flow
in one direction, where the subscript x is dropped:
(v )
2
av
=  vav
vav

Determine β for laminar flow in a tube.
