Evaluate the total force resisted by the flange bolts


Solve the following problem:

Q: Water at 20°C flows steadily through a reducing pipe bend as in Fig Known conditions are p1 = 350 kPa, D1 = 25 cm, V1 = 2.2 m/s, p2 = 120 kPa, and D2 = 8 cm. Neglecting bend and water weight, estimate the total force which must be resisted by the flange bolts.
