Force Race of Momentum Change of Water Jet. (Mass of Fluid / Time) X Change of Velocity

This document describes an experiment to measure the force exerted by a fluid jet on different surfaces. The objective is to compare measured force values to theoretical calculations. A jet of fluid hitting a flat or curved plate generates force due to momentum change according to Newton's second law. The experimental method involves recording results and calculating flow rate, nozzle exit velocity, impact velocity, and theoretical and experimental forces to compare.

INTRODUCTION

Water jet from a small opening, with a high velocity, when exerted on a
surface of plate will produce force that gives power to move a
system.The principle of jet impact is the basis for the understanding of
liquid flow in turbines. The principle is used in designing impulse
turbine.In these turbine part of the fluid energy is transformed into
kinetic energy in a nozzle (or a set of nozzle) which issues a jet of fluid at
high speed.The jet strikes the moving blades, mounted on the turbine
wheel, producing the force required to drive it.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this experiment is to measure the force exerted by a


fluid jet impinging upon a plate or hemispherical surface to compare the
result with the theoretical values.

THEORY

A jet of fluid when impinging upon a flat or a curved surface generates a


force due to change of momentum of the fluid according to Newtons
second law of motion.For example, when water of a velocity forced out
from a jet nozzle with diameter d on a plate,the rate of change of
momentum produced its magnitude is the same with the force exerted
on the surface of the plate to support the water jet.

Force = Race of momentum change of water jet.


( mass of fluid / time ) x change of velocity
The force (f) generated by a jet of water as it strikes depends on the
shape of the plate surface, e.g flat plate or curved (hemispherical)
surface.
ANALYSIS

1) The results are recorded on the result sheets.


2) The flow rate and the nozzle exit velocity are calculated. The nozzle
velocity for the height of the target is corrected above the nozzle to
obtain the impact of velocity.
3) The experimental force and the theoretical force are calculated,then
to compare.
