MOMENTUM PRINCIPLE
Conservation of momentum:
Therefore:
cv consists
of fluid only.
Cv includes the
section of the
pipe.
Example 6.1:
Rocket on test stand.
Exhaust jet has:
Diameter d = 1 cm
Speed v = 450 m/s
Density = 0.5 kg/m3
Assume p in jet is atmospheric p.
Neglect momentum changes inside
rocket motor.
What is the force Fb acting on
support beam?
QuickTime and a
TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor
are needed to see this picture.
2) Momentum change:
There is no momentum
accumulation because the
structure is stationary and
because we neglect momentum changes in the rocket motor.
or
Forces in z:

Net momentum change:
Where
is given by
=Q
Pressure at center of
inlet
= p1
Volume of bend = V
Weight of bend = W
Forces in x-direction:
Momentum in x-direction:
