Question

A vertical reducing bend has a diameter of 300mm at
inlet and 150 mm at exit. The bend is initially horizontal and turns the flow through 1200
. The inlet

pressure is 1.4 kg/cm^2 and flow rate through the bend
is
225 lit/sec. The exit is 1.4 m below the inlet. The
total volume of oil in the bend is 85 lit. Assuming

frictionless flow, use the equation of the control
volume to determine the magnitude and direction of
the resultant forces on the bend. Draw a sketch of the

set up​
