(b) Water from a large tank, pressured using compressed air at 45 Bar, enters a nozzle having an entry diameter equal to 35 mm. The exit diameter of the nozzle is equal to 12 mm. The level of water is 76 cm above the base of the tank. The resulting water jet strikes a fixed vane that diverts the jet by an angle of 140 degrees as shown in Figure 3 below. The nozzle centreline is 25 mm above the base of the tank. Calculate the: (i) velocity of the water jet at the exit of the nozzle (ii) force acting on the nozzle (iii) resultant force acting on the vane and its direction (iy) power of the iet.

(b) Water from a large tank, pressured using compressed air at 45 Bar, enters a nozzle
having an entry diameter equal to 35 mm. The exit diameter of the nozzle is equal to
12 mm. The level of water is 76 cm above the base of the tank. The resulting water
jet strikes a fixed vane that diverts the jet by an angle of 140 degrees as shown in
Figure 3 below. The nozzle centreline is 25 mm above the base of the tank.
Calculate the:
(i) velocity of the water jet at the exit of the nozzle
(ii) force acting on the nozzle
(iii) resultant force acting on the vane and its direction
(iv) power of the jet.
