Question 6.SP.2: Water flows through the double nozzle as shown in Fig. S6.2.......

Water flows through the double nozzle as shown in Fig. S6.2. Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force the water exerts on the nozzle. The velocity of both nozzle jets is 12 m /s . The axes of the pipe and both nozzles lie in a horizontal plane. γ=9.81kN/m³ . Neglect friction.

Continuity:                A_1 V_1=A_2 V_2+A_3 V_3

\begin{gathered}15^2 V_1=10^2(12)+7.5^2(12), \quad V_1=8.33 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\\\Q_1=\frac{\pi}{4}(0.15)^2 8.33=0.1473 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}, \quad Q_2=0.0942 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}, \quad Q_3=0.0530 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{s}\end{gathered}

Jets 2 and 3 are “free,” i.e., in the atmosphere, so p_2=p_3=0 . Writing energy equation (5.29) along a streamline:

\frac{p_1}{\gamma}+z+\frac{8.33^2}{2(9.81)}=0+z+\frac{12^2}{2(9.81)}

So                      \quad \frac{p_1}{\gamma}=3.80 \mathrm{~m}, \quad p_1=37.3 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^2, \quad p_1 A_1=0.659 \mathrm{kN}

Eq. (6.7a):          \quad \sum F_x=p_1 A_1-0-F_x=\left(\rho Q_2 V_{2 x}+\rho Q_3 V_{3 x}\right)-\rho Q_1 V_{1 x}

  \begin{gathered} \rho=\frac{\gamma}{g}=\frac{9.81 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^3}{9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2}=1.0 \frac{\mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{s}^2}{\mathrm{~m}^4}=10^3 \frac{\mathrm{kg}}{\mathrm{m}^3} \\\\ V_{2 x}=V_2 \cos 15^{\circ}=12(0.966)=11.59 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\\\ V_{3 x}=V_3 \cos 30^{\circ}=12(0.866)=10.39 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, \quad V_{1 x}=V_1=8.33 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\\\ 0.659-F_x=10^3(0.0942) 11.59+10^3(0.0530) 10.39-10^3(0.1473) 8.33 \\\\ =0.417 \mathrm{kN} \\\\ F_x=0.659-0.417=0.242 \mathrm{kN} \leftarrow \end{gathered} 

Eq. (6.7b): \quad \sum F_y=0-0+F_y=\left(\rho Q_2 V_{2 y}+\rho Q_3 V_{3 y}\right)-\rho Q_1 V_{1 y}

\begin{gathered}V_{2 y}=V_2 \sin 15^{\circ}=12(0.259)=3.11 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s} \\\\V_{3 y}=-V_3 \sin 30^{\circ}=-12(0.50)=-6.00 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, \quad V_{1 y}=0\end{gathered}

So              \begin{aligned} F_y & =10^3(0.0942) 3.11+10^3(0.0530)(-6.00)-10^3(0.1473)(0) \end{aligned}

=0.291-0.318-0=-0.027 \mathrm{kN} \uparrow=0.027 \mathrm{kN} \downarrow

 The minus sign indicates that the direction we assumed for F_y  was wrong. Therefore F_y  acts in the negative  y  direction. F_{L / N}  is equal and opposite to F.

\begin{aligned}& \left(F_{L / N}\right)_x=0.242 \mathrm{kN} \rightarrow \quad \text { (in the positive } x \text { direction) } \\\\& \left.\left(F_{L / N}\right)_y=0.027 \mathrm{kN} \uparrow \quad \text { (in the positive } y \text { direction }\right)\end{aligned}

F_{L / N}=0.243 \mathrm{kN} \text { at } 5.90^{\circ}\measuredangle

\sum F_x=\dot{m}\left(\Delta V_x\right)=\rho Q\left(\Delta V_x\right)=\rho Q\left(V_{2 x}-V_{1 x}\right)          (6.7a)

\sum F_y=\dot{m}\left(\Delta V_y\right)=\rho Q\left(\Delta V_y\right)=\rho Q\left(V_{2 y}-V_{1 y}\right)          (6.7b)

\frac{p_1}{\gamma}+z_1+\frac{V_1^2}{2 g}=\frac{p_2}{\gamma}+z_2+\frac{V_2^2}{2 g}                   (5.29)
