Flow Through Pipe, Reaction at Hangers
Flow Through Pipe, Reaction at Hangers
(OP)
Hi :
I have a system to pipe network, consisting of 4 Pipes and 3 elbows (90 degrees).
Fluid Flows through one end of the pipe at a pressure of 35psi and flow rate 2787 ft^3/min and leaves at pressure of 20 psi from the other end.
Now, my task is to design the pipe hangers, which would have the tendency to bend laterally because of the horizontal and vertical component of force on each elbow.

Looks like an academic problem to me.
Also you need to specify the fluid density and its velocity. In other words you need a weight rate and velocity to do the momentum part of the problem.

Now, While applying the conservation of momentum, will the reaction force on each elbow be the same or would it be different. What is the worst case scenario ?
