Question

The horizontal wye fitting shown splits Q1 into two equal flow rates. At section 1, Q1 = 0.2m3and5.p1 = 250 KPa gage. Assuming steady, inviscid and in compressible flow, compute

the pressures P2and P3 and the force required (two components x and y)to keep the wye in place. You need to show the forces and linear Momentum on this diagram. (20 points)D1=12 Cm, D2=7 Cm , D3=9 Cm, a = 50° at point 3
