Fluid flow and momentum equation. Do I have the right equation?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the fluid flow and momentum equations, specifically verifying the correctness of the equations presented. The equations relate forces in the x and y directions to pressure, area, and velocity changes in a fluid system. There is a request for clarification on variable definitions to avoid assumptions. The equations appear to be adapted from a source regarding forces in pipe bends, with modifications for bend direction. Overall, the conversation seeks to confirm the accuracy of the derived equations in the context of fluid dynamics.

F1x+F3x = density x Q(Vx2 – Vx1)
F1x = -Rx
F3x= (pressure 1 x area 1) + (Pressure 2 x area 2) (Cos B)
F1y+F3y = density x Q(Vy2 – Vy1)
F1y = -Ry
F3y = (Pressure 2 + Area 2)(Cos B)
So is it:
Rx= (pressure 1 x area 1) + (Pressure 2 x area 2) (Cos B) - density x Q(Vx2 – Vx1)
Ry = (Pressure 2 + Area 2)(Cos B) - density x Q(Vy2 – Vy1)

You mind defining all your variables just so that we don't make any assumptions about what you mean?

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Beam on an inclined plane'

Hello! I have a question regarding a beam on an inclined plane. I was considering a beam resting on two supports attached to an inclined plane. I was almost sure that the lower support must be more loaded. My imagination about this problem is shown in the picture below. Here is how I wrote the condition of equilibrium forces: $$ \begin{cases} F_{g\parallel}=F_{t1}+F_{t2}, \\ F_{g\perp}=F_{r1}+F_{r2} \end{cases}. $$ On the other hand...
