A little fluid statics question

AI Thread Summary
When calculating the force needed to hold the dish in place, both water jets must be considered, as they exert forces in the negative x direction. The net change in momentum should account for the contributions from both jets and the main pipe. Each jet contributes to the overall force dynamics, impacting the stability of the system. Proper analysis requires evaluating the combined effects of all fluid streams. Understanding these interactions is crucial for accurate force calculations in fluid statics.

When finding the force required to hold the dish in place, do I have to take account for both of the "jets" going out from center?

I mean, there will be two forces in the negative x direction because of the water jet right?

I hope the question is clear enough :redface:

What's the net change in momentum due to all the streams? There's 2 from the jets, but what about the "main" pipe?

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
