IMPACT OF JET APPARATUS |
a*
APPLICATION : ai
,
A Jet of fluid emerging from a nozzle posses Kinetic energy on account
olf its velocity When the Jet strukes an obstruction, #t exerts upon tt This
force ts impact of jet This force 18 caused due to change of momentum of
the jet
APPARATUS :
The apparatus consists of a nozzle, to which weight 1s supphed A
upward jet issuing from the nozzle stakes the vane fitted over the
nozzle. The flow of water can be controlled by a gate valves. The vane is
fitted over a lever Left side of lever is provided with inital balance weight
to balance the lever Right side is provided with force measurement
weight Two nozzle, viz, inside straight taper and cutved taper’ are
provided. Also, five vanes, viz. flat, 30° inclined, 60" inchned 135” angle
of deflection & 180° angle of deflection are provided The whole assembly
's housed in am. s box with two sided Perspex ~
PROCEDURE :
Fix up the required nozzle, Fix up required vane and balance the lever
Now start water supply Adjust the water flow, if required, and allow jet
impimg over the vane The lever will be lifted up now slide the force
measurement weight and again balance the lever Add up or reduce the
weight in the pan, if required. Now , measure the discharge of water, | m
weight & its distance from the fulcrum.DATACONE EQUIPMENTS
