Abstract
The impact of jet experiment is to demonstrate and verify the integral momentum equation.[1]. In lay man terms, it’s another way to understand fluid pressure by using the pressure to accelerate the fluid to a plate by a high velocity in a jet which in result will generate force due to impulse. The graph will show forces against momentum with different design plates. This experiment helps us to understand about fluid pressure also gives us a better understanding about fluid related machines.
Introduction
The objective of this experiment is to compare forces generated by impact of jet on vanes of various shapes and also to understand how forces can affect the change of momentum flow in the jet. The impact of jet experiment helps us to understand how does turbines works under fluid pressure. [2]. The mechanical work produced by using pressure of moving fluid at a high velocity jet of water from nozzle produces force when it strikes on the plane of the surface of the plate. The forces exerted on the surface plane will also depend on the density of fluid at specific temperature. The force exerted on the impact will generate the momentum change and also to determine the mass flow rate. This experiment aims at assessing the different forces exerted by the same water jet on a variety of geometrical
