This document contains examples and exercises on applying the momentum equation to fluid mechanics problems. It includes two examples - one calculating forces on a pipe bend, the other on a double nozzle. It also includes two practice problems - one calculating head loss, power dissipation, and horizontal forces on a corrugated ramp, the other calculating pressure rise and power loss in a jet pump mixing zone.

VVR 120 Fluid Mechanics

Example pipe bend. When 300 l/s of water flow through this vertical
300 by 200 mm pipe bend, the pressure at the entrance is 70 kPa.
Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force by the fluid on the
bend if the volume of the bend is 0.085 m3.

Example Double nozzle. Determine the magnitude and direction of


the resultant force exerted on this double nozzle by water flowing
through it as shown in the figure. Both nozzle jets have a velocity of 12
m/s. The axes of the pipe and both nozzles lie in a horizontal plane.
w=9.81 kN/m3. Neglect friction.

C54 This corrugated ramp is used as an energy dissipator in a two-


dimensional open channel flow. For a flowrate of 5.4 m3/(sm) calculate
the head lost, the power dissipated, and the horizontal component of
force exerted by the water on the ramp.

C64 If the velocity profiles at the upstream and downstream ends of the
mixing zone of a jet pump may be approximated as shown, and wall
friction may be neglected, calculate the rise of pressure from section 1
to section 2, and the power lost in the mixing process. Water is flowing.
