6-29E A water jet hits a stationary splitter, such that half of the flow is diverted upward at 45°, and the other half is directed down. The force required to hold the splitter in place is to be determined. √EES
Assumptions 1 The flow is steady and incompressible. 2 The water jet is exposed to the atmosphere, and thus the pressure of the water jet before and after the split is the atmospheric pressure which is disregarded since it acts on all surfaces. 3 The gravitational effects are disregarded. 4
