Chapter 6 Problem 6.57

Question

A hot gas stream enters a uniform-diameter return bend as shown. The entrance velocity is 100 ft/s, the gas density is 0.02lbm/tr, and the mass flow rate is 1 lbm/s. Water is sprayed into the duct to cool the gas down. The gas exits with a density of 0.06 lbm/ft3 . The mass flow of water into the gas is negligible. The pressures at the entrance and exit are the same and equal to the atmospheric pressure. Find the force required to hold the bend.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 6 problem number 57 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A hot gas stream enters a uniform-diameter return bend as shown. The entrance velocity is 100 ft/s, the gas density is 0.02lbm/tr, and the mass flow rate is 1 lbm/s. Water is sprayed into the duct to cool the gas down. The gas exits with a density of 0.06 lbm/ft3 . The mass flow of water into the gas is negligible. The pressures at the entrance and exit are the same and equal to the atmospheric pressure. Find the force required to hold the bend.
From the textbook chapter MOMENTUM EQUATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
