Consider frictionless flow of water through a bend in a pipe. Calculate the x & y
components of the force on the pipe. The pipe passes through the control volume (pipe
diameter is not constant). The ambient pressure outside the pipe is 14. psia. Conditions
at the boundaries into the pipe are! " # $% ft&s' ( # $%% psia ' ) # 1$ in.

+ne method of reducing an aircraft4s landing distance is through the use of thrust
reversers. Consider the turbofan engine show below with a thrust reverser of the bypass
air stream. 15%% lbm&s of air at ,%

0 and 14. psia enters the engine at a velocity of 45%
fps. 1$5% lbm&s of bypass air leaves the engine at ,%

to the hori6ontal' velocity of -1%
fps' and pressure of 14. psia. The remaining $5% lbm&s leaves the engine core at a
velocity of 1$%% fps and a pressure of 14. psia. )etermine the force on the strut 70x8.
/ssume the outside of the engine sees a pressure of 14. psia.
