Title Impact of water jet Objective The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the application of the momentum equation. The force generated by a jet of water deflected by an impact surface is measured and compared to the momentum change of the jet. To relate: • Direct measurement of impact forces • Effect of flow rate and velocity • Effect of various deflection angles Introduction / Theory Newton’s Second law states that The applied forces is equal

C IMPACT OF JET EXPERIMENT 1 Aim To find the impact force caused by a fluid jet on a horizontal plate and a hemispherical shell and compare it with the expected theoretical force. 2 Theory When a rubber ball strikes a solid surface it nicely rebounds from the solid surface. The amount of rebound would depend on the coefficient of restitution. However‚ when a steady fluid jet strikes a solid surface‚ it does not rebound. But‚ a stream of fluid is formed which moves over the surface and the fluid

force generated by impact of the jet on vanes of various shapes like flat plate‚ conical cup and hemispherical cup. Besides that‚ the results from the experiment have to be compared with the theoretical calculations too. 1.0 Introduction Water turbines are widely used throughout the world to generate power. By allowing fluid under pressure to strike the vanes of a turbine wheel‚ mechanical work can be produced. Rotational motion is then produced by the force generated as the jet strikes the vanes

1.0 ABSTRACT The objective for this experiment is to verify the momentum equation experimentally through the impact of jet against deflectors. There are four deflectors used in this experiment. The four deflectors are plate‚ hemisphere‚ slope and cone. The loading weights to be used are 0.8 N‚ 1.0 N‚ 1.5 N and 2.0 N. In this experiment‚ the time taken for the water level in the volumetric tank to raise from 10 to 20 L is determined by using a stop watch. The flow rate‚ calculated force and the error

1.0 ABSTRACT The purpose of the impact of jet experiment is to design a system to determine the force generated by the impact of jet on a variety of target vanes. A formula is given to calculate the reaction force at the different vanes caused by the jet. At the end of the experiment‚ the data collected and results calculated will then be compared to theoretical values which are given. Students are expected to be able to come to a conclusion regarding the relationship between the reaction force

Impact Of a Jet Introduction: Over the years‚ engineers have found many ways to utilize the force that can be imparted by a jet of fluid on a surface diverting the flow. For example‚ the pelt on wheel has been used to make flour. Further more‚ the impulse turbine is still used in the first and sometimes in the second stages of steam turbine. Firemen make use of the kinetic energy stored in a jet to deliver water above the level in the nozzle to extinguish fires in high-rise buildings
