Water at 20 degrees centrigrade in a 85 degree reducing bendis used in what is otherwise a continuous pipe. The systemoperating is 0.10 cubic meters per seconds. The bend isin thehorizontl pane and its weight is supported from below. The reducingbend is attached at its inlet and outlet with bolted flangefittings. The inlet diameter is 20 centimeters. The outlet diameteris 10 centimeters. Gage pressure at the 20 centimeter inlet is220KPa.
Find the component forces that the flange bolts must resist.Use an analysis that does not include friction losses asthe water passes through the reducing bend.
