    Newtons second law can be stated as

    The sum of all external forces acting on asystem is equal to the time rate of change oflinear momentum of the system.

    This statement is valid for a coordinate system

    that is at rest or moves with a constantvelocity, called an inertial coordinate system orinertial reference frame.

    Note that the momentum equation is a vector equation, and thus each term should

    be treated as a vector. Also, the components of this equation can be resolved alongorthogonal coordinates (such as x, y, and z in the Cartesian coordinate system) forconvenience. The force Fin most cases consists of weights, pressure forces, andreaction forces. The momentum equation is commonly used to calculate the forces(usually on support systems or connectors) induced by the flow.

    In most flow systems, the force Fconsists ofweights, pressure forces, and reaction forces.

    Gage pressures are used here sinceatmospheric pressure cancels out on all sides ofthe control surface.

    Solution For a given velocity distribution we are to calculate themomentum- flux correction factor.Assumptions1 The flow is incompressible and steady. 2 Thecontrol volume slices through the pipe normal to the pipe axis.

    EXAMPLE 62A reducing elbow is used to deflect water flow at a rate of 14 kg/s in a horizontal pipe upward30 while accelerating it. The elbow discharges water into the atmosphere. The cross-

    sectional area of the elbow is 113 cm2

    at the inlet and 7 cm2

    at the outlet. The elevationdifference between the centers of the outlet and the inlet is 30 cm. The weight of the elbowand the water in it is considered to be negligible. Determine (a) the gage pressure at thecenter of the inlet of the elbow and (b) the anchoring force needed to hold the elbow in place.

    Solution A reducing elbow deflects water upward and discharges it to the atmosphere.The pressure at the inlet of the elbow and the force needed to hold the elbow in place areto be determined.Assumptions1 The flow is steady, and the frictional effects are negligible. 2 The weight ofthe elbow and the water in it is negligible. 3 The water is discharged to the atmosphere,and thus the gage pressure at the outlet is zero. 4 The flow is turbulent and fully developed

    at both the inlet and outlet of the control volume, and we take the momentum-fluxcorrection factor to be =1.03.

    Discussion There is a nonzero pressure distribution along the inside walls ofthe elbow, but since the control volume is outside the elbow, these pressures donot appear in our analysis. The actual value of P1, gage will be higher than thatcalculated here because of frictional and other irreversible losses in the elbow.

    (b) The momentum equation for steady one-dimensional flow is

    EXAMPLE 63The deflector elbow in Exp. 62 is replaced by a reversing elbowsuch that the fluid makes a 180 U-turn before it is discharged, asshown in Figure. The elevation difference between the centers ofthe inlet and the exit sections is still 0.3 m. Determine the anchoringforce needed to hold the elbow in place.

The elevation difference between the centers ofthe inlet and the exit sections is still 0.3 m. Determine the anchoringforce needed to hold the elbow in place.

    Solution The inlet and the outlet velocities and the pressure at the inlet of the elbow remain

    the same, but the vertical component of the anchoring force at the connection of the elbowto the pipe is zero in this case (FRz=0) since there is no other force or momentum flux in thevertical direction (we are neglecting the weight of the elbow and the water). The horizontalcomponent of the anchoring force is determined from the momentum equation written in thex-direction. Noting that the outlet velocity is negative since it is in the negative x-direction,

    we have

    Therefore, the horizontal force on the flange is 2591 N acting in the negative x-direction (theelbow is trying to separate from the pipe). This force is equivalent to the weight of about 260kg mass, and thus the connectors (such as bolts) used must be strong enough to withstandthis force.

    DiscussionThe reaction force in the x-direction is larger than that of Exp. 62 since thewalls turn the water over a much greater angle. If the reversing elbow is replaced by astraight nozzle (like one used by firefighters) such that water is discharged in the positive x-direction, the momentum equation in the x-direction becomes

    since both V1 and V2 are in the positive x-direction. This shows the importance of using thecorrect sign (positive if in the positive direction and negative if in the opposite direction) for

    velocities and forces.

    EXAMPLE 6 4Water is accelerated by a nozzle to an average speed of 20 m/s,and strikes a stationary vertical plate at a rate of 10 kg/s with anormal velocity of 20 m/s. After the strike, the water streamsplatters off in all directions in the plane of the plate. Determine theforce needed to prevent the plate from moving horizontally due tothe water stream.

After the strike, the water streamsplatters off in all directions in the plane of the plate. Determine theforce needed to prevent the plate from moving horizontally due tothe water stream.

    Solution A water jet strikes a vertical stationary plate normally. The force needed tohold the plate in place is to be determined.Assumptions1 The flow of water at nozzle outlet is steady. 2 The water splatters indirections normal to the approach direction of the water jet. 3 The water jet is exposedto the atmosphere, and thus the pressure of the water jet and the splattered waterleaving the control volume is atmospheric pressure, which is disregarded since it acts

    on the entire system. 4 The vertical forces and momentum fluxes are not consideredsince they have no effect on the horizontal reaction force. 5 The effect of themomentum-flux correction factor is negligible, and thus =1.

    V1, x=V1 and V2, x= 0

    DiscussionThe plate absorbs the full brunt of the momentum of the water jetsince the x-direction momentum at the outlet of the control volume is zero. If thecontrol volume were drawn instead along the interface between the water and

    the plate, there would be additional (unknown) pressure forces in the analysis.By cutting the control volume through the support, we avoid having to deal withthis additional complexity. This is an example of a wise choice of controlvolume.

    EXAMPLE 6 5An orbiting satellite has a mass of msat = 5000 kg and is traveling at a constant velocity of V0. Toalter its orbit, an attached rocket discharges mf =100 kg of gases from the reaction of solid fuel at avelocity Vf=3000 m/s relative to the satellite in a direction opposite to V0. The fuel discharge rate is

    constant for 2 s. Determine (a) the acceleration of the satellite during this 2-s period, (b) the changeof velocity of the satellite during this time period, and (c) the thrust exerted on the satellite.

    SOLUTION The rocket of a satellite is fired in the opposite

    direction to motion. The acceleration, the velocity change,and the thrust are to be determined.Assumptions1 The flow of combustion gases is steadyand one-dimensional during the firing period. 2 There areno external forces acting on the satellite, and the effect of

    the pressure force at the nozzle exit is negligible.3

    Themass of discharged fuel is negligible relative to the mass ofthe satellite,and thus the satellite may be treated as a solid body with aconstant mass. 4 The nozzle is well-designed such that theeffect of the momentum flux correction factor is negligible,

    and thus = 1.

    The pipediameter is small compared to the moment arm,and thus we use average values of radius andvelocity at the outlet.

    each jet is 1 cm, and the normal distancebetween the axis of rotation and the center ofeach nozzle is 0.6 m. Estimate the electricpower produced.

    Solution A four-armed sprinkler is used togenerate electric power. For a specified flowrate and rotational speed, the power producedis to be determined.

    Assumptions1 The flow is cyclically steady (i.e., steady from a frame of reference rotating withthe sprinkler head). 2 The water is discharged to the atmosphere, and thus the gage pressure atthe nozzle exit is zero. 3 Generator losses and air drag of rotating components are neglected. 4The nozzle diameter is small compared to the moment arm, and thus we use average values ofradius and velocity at the outlet.

    At this rpm, the velocity of the jet will be zero relative to an observer on earth (or relative to thefixed disk-shaped control volume selected). The variation of power produced with angular speedis plotted. Note that the power produced increases with increasing rpm, reaches a maximum (atabout 500 rpm in this case), and then decreases. The actual power produced will be less thanthis due to generator inefficiency.
