I have question that I'm sure has been asked before. Maybe if you could point me to a thread that'd be great.
The water flows steady discharging to atmosphere. I need to find the horizontal componant of force in the flanged joint & find if it's in tension or compression.
I think I have a Conservation of Momentum problem that I can't figure what I'm doing wrong. I have attached the problem. I figured that due to uniform, steady flow Q=constant so that V1A1=V2A2. So with that I plugged into the momentum flux equation.
=density of water((v2^2)(A2)(cos30)-(V1^2)(A1))+(Pressure)(A2)
If it discharges to atmosphere then I thought maybe it's Pressure(gage)(A1) instead of A2? I think I'm all over the place with this one.
Thanks for any assistance clearing the fog
