A pipe branches symmetrically into two legs of length L, and the whole system rotates with angular speed ω around its axis of sy
mmetry. Each branch is inclined at angle α to the axis of rotation. Liquid enters the pipe steadily, with zero angular momentum, at volume flow rate Q. The pipe diameter, D, is much smaller than L. Obtain an expression for the external torque required to turn the pipe. What additional torque would be required to impart angular acceleration ω_ ?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the thermal efficiency given in an engine of the Carnot cycle. Here we know that efficiency is given under the equation
Where,
Temperature of Cold Body
Temperature of Hot Body
= Efficiency
According to the statement our values are:
Replacing we have that
Therefore the temperature of the heat source is 300K
