A forced jet of water at 20◦C with a diameter of 0.25 m and a flowrate of 0.3 m3 /sec hits a stationary conical wedge, where the jet splits into two equal paths, as illustrated in Figure ECP 5.63. Assume that the jet and the wedge lie in a horizontal plane, (x, y), and assume ideal flow. (a) Determine the velocity of the flow at points 2 and 3. (b) Determine the flowrate at control faces 2 and 3. (c) Determine the reaction force acting on the wedge due to the thrust force of the flow (anchoring force required to keep wedge from moving).
