a) What do we mean by friction and pressure drag? b) A jet of water issuing from a stationary nozzle at 10 m/s (A -0.1 m) 2 strikes a turning vane mounted on a cart as shown. The vane turns the jet through angle 40°. Determine the value of M required to hold the cart stationary.
Force from a Jet of Water A jet of fluid striking a vane exerts a force on the vane it is equal and opposite to the vane. It is the equal and opposite force of the fluid momentum change that accompanies such a flow. For different weights, the water flow rate is adjusted so the platform stays at the zero reading. These values are given below Q, ftA3/s 0045 0069 0011 0107 0116 0041 0076 0113 0146 Weight Angle, deg...
Objective To determine the force generated by a jet of water striking on a surface Description of apparatus The supply is led to a vertical pipe terminating in a tapered nozzle. This produces a jet of water which impinges on the vane in the form of a Flat Plate, Hemispherical Cup, Conical Plate or 30° Angled Plate. The nozzle and vane are contained within a transparent cylinder; at the base of the cylinder there is an outlet by which the...
