EXPERIMENT #5: IMPACT OF A JET
1. INTRODUCTION
Moving ±uid, in natural or arti²cial systems, may exert forces on objects in contact with it. To ana-
lyze ±uid motion, a ²nite region of the ±uid (control volume) is usually selected, and the gross e³ects
of the ±ow, such as its force or torque on an object, is determined by calculating the net mass rate
that ±ows into and out of the control volume. These forces can be determined, as in solid mechanics,
by the use of Newton’s second law, or by the momentum equation. The force exerted by a jet of ±uid
on a ±at or curve surface can be resolved by applying the momentum equation. The study of these
forces is essential to the study of ±uid mechanics and hydraulic machinery.

2. PRACTICAL APPLICATION
Engineers and designers use the momentum equation to accurately calculate the force that moving
±uid may exert on a solid body. For example, in hydropower plants, turbines are utilized to generate
electricity. Turbines rotate due to force exerted by one or more water jets that are directed tangen-
tially onto the turbine’s vanes or buckets. The impact of the water on the vanes generates a torque on
the wheel, causing it to rotate and to generate electricity.
3. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this experiment is to investigate the reaction forces produced by the change in mo-
mentum of a ±uid ±ow when a jet of water strikes a ±at plate or a curved surface, and to compare the
results from this experiment with the computed forces by applying the momentum equation.
4. METHOD
The momentum force is determined by measuring the forces produced by a jet of water impinging
on solid ±at and curved surfaces, which de±ect the jet at di³erent angles.
5. EQUIPMENT
The following equipment is required to perform the impact of the jet experiment:
F1-10 hydraulics bench,
F1-16 impacts of a jet apparatus with three ±ow de±ectors with de±ection angles of 90, 120, and
180 degrees, and
Stopwatch for timing the ±ow measurement.
6. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
The jet apparatus is a clear acrylic cylinder, a nozzle, and a ±ow de±ector (Figure 5.1). Water enters
vertically from the top of the cylinder, through a nozzle striking a target, mounted on a stem, and
leaves through the outlet holes in the base of the cylinder. An air vent at the top of the cylinder
maintains the atmospheric pressure inside the cylinder. A weight pan is mounted at the top of the
stem to allow the force of the striking water to be counterbalanced by applied masses [5].

7. THEORY
The velocity of the water (
v
) leaving the nozzle with the cross-sectional area (A) can be calculated
by:
in which Q is the ±ow rate.
Applying the energy equation between the nozzle exit point and the surface of the de±ector shows
that the magnitude of the ±ow velocity does not change as the water ±ows around the de±ector; only
the direction of the ±ow changes.
Applying the momentum equation to a control volume encompassing the de±ected ±ow results in:

Perform the experiment by taking the following steps:
Remove the top plate (by releasing the knurled nuts) and the transparent cylinder from the
equipment, and check and record the exit diameter of the nozzle.
Replace the cylinder, and screw the 90-degree de±ector onto the end of the shaft.
Connect the inlet tube to the quick-release connector on the bench.
Replace the top plate on the transparent cylinder, but do not tighten the three knurled nuts.
Using the spirit level attached to the top plate, level the cylinder by adjusting the feet.
Replace the three knurled nuts, then tighten in sequence until the built-in circular spirit level in-
dicates that the top plate is horizontal. Do not overtighten the knurled nuts, as this will damage
the top plate. The nuts should only be tightened enough to level the plate.
Ensure that the vertical shaft is free to move and is supported by the spring beneath the weight
pan.
With no weights on the weight pan, adjust the height of the level gauge until it aligns with the
datum line on the weight pan. Check that the position is correct by gently oscillating the pan.
Place a mass of 50 grams on the weight pan, and turn on the pump.
Open the bench valve slowly, and allow water to impinge upon the target until the datum line on
the weight pan is level with the gauge. Leave the ±ow constant. Observe and note the ±ow be-
havior during the test.
Measure the ±ow rate, using the volumetric tank. This is achieved by closing the ball valve and
measuring the time that it takes to accumulate a known volume of ±uid in the tank, as measured

from the sight glass. You should collect water for at least one minute
to minimize timing errors.
Repeat this procedure by adding an additional 50 grams incrementally, until a maximum mass of
500 grams has been applied.
Repeat the entire test for each of the other two ±ow de±ectors.

Does this experiment provide a feasible means of verifying the conservation of momentum
equation? Try to be quantitative in your comparison between the experimental and calcu-
lated results.

One of the conditions in using the Bernoulli equation is the requirement of
inviscid flow. However there is no fluid with zero viscosity in the world except
some peculiar fluid at very low temperature. Bernoulli equation or inviscid flow
theory is still a very important branch of fluid dynamics for the following
reasons:
(i)
(ii)
There is wide region of flow where the velocity gradient is zero and so the
viscous effect does not manifest itself, such as in external flow past an un-
stalled aerofoil.
The conservation of useful energy allows the conversion of kinetic and
potential energy to pressure and hence pressure force acting normal to the
control volume or system boundary even though the tangential friction
stress is absent.
It allows the estimation of losses in internal pipe flow.

The clearance between the solid cylinder and the pipe is filled
with a Newtonian fluid of density p and u. For this clearance
fluid, the terminal velocity of the cylinder is determined to
be V, assuming a linear velocity profile. However, if the
clearance fluid was changed to a Newtonian fluid of density
2p and viscosity 2u, then for an assumed linear velocity
profile, the terminal velocity of the cylinder was determined
to be V,. From the results of these experiments, one may

In the field of air pollution control, one often needs to sample the quality of a moving airstream. In such measurements a sampling probe is aligned with the flow as sketched in Fig. A suction pump draws air through the probe at volume flow rate V· as sketched. For accurate sampling, the air speed through the probe should be the same as that of the airstream (isokinetic sampling). However, if the applied suction is too large, as sketched in Fig, the air speed through the probe is greater than that of the airstream (super iso kinetic sampling). For simplicity consider a two-dimensional case in which the sampling probe height is h = 4.58 mm and its width is W = 39.5 mm. The values of the stream function corresponding to the lower and upper dividing streamlines are ?l = 0.093 m2/s and ?u = 0.150 m2/s, respectively. Calculate the volume flow rate through the probe (in units of m3/s) and the average speed of the air sucked through the probe.
