EXPERIMENT 5
------------------------------

Title : Impact of Water Jet / Water Jet Force

Objectives : To investigate jet forces impacting against stationary deflectors.
Apparatus / Equipment : Impact of Jet Apparatus

Unit Description

Theory:
The theoretical jet force is calculated from the principle of linear momentum. The density (ρ) of the
water is 1000 kg/m3.
Force = Fluid Mass x Variable of Velocity = (ρ.A.v) x (Δv) = (ρQ) x (v1–v2)
Where: ρ = Density of fluids
A = Area of nozzle
V1 = first velocity
V2 = Second velocity

Procedures:

1. Place the test set-up on the HM150 so that the drain routes the water into the channel.
2. Fit connecting hose between HM150 and unit.
3. Open HM150 drain.
4. Assemble deflector [1], (Plate, Hemisphere, Slope or Cone). Loosen the 3 screws [3] on the
cover [4] and remove cover together with lever mechanism. Fit appropriate deflector. Do not
forget to tighten lock nut [2] on rod. Screw cover back onto vessel.
5. Use adjusting screw [5] to set pointer to zero (zero notch [7]). When doing so, do not place any
loading weights on measurement system [8].
6. Apply desired loading weight [8] 0.5N; 1N; 1.5N; 2N; 2.5N, 3N or combinations thereof.
7. Close main HM150 cock.
8. Switch on HM150 pump.
9. Carefully open main cock until pointer is on zero again.
10. Close HM150 drains cock.
11. Determine volumetric flow. This involves recording time t required to fill up the volumetric
tank of the HM150 from 20 to 30 litres.
12. Add loading weights and note down time t for 10 litres.
13. Switch off pump, open drain.
