Water at 688F is flowing through a 458 pipe bend at a rate of 2000 gpm. The inlet to the bend is 3 in. ID, and the outlet is 4 in. ID. The pressure at the inlet is 100 psig, and the pressure drop in the bend is equal to half of what it would be in a 3 in. 908 elbow. Calculate the net force (magnitude and direction) that the water exerts on the pipe bend.
