Impact of Jet Apparatus

This apparatus is used to verify the momentum equation experimentally. This is also used for comparison of change in force exerted due to shape of the vane for different targets (Flat or curved). The system is closed circuit.

The apparatus consists of:

• A Centrifugal Monoblock Pump 1/2 HP Motor (ISI Kirlosker Make)
• S.S. Sump Tank 50 Ltr. to collect the water.
• S.S. Measuring Tank 30 Ltr fitted with piezometer tube to measure the discharge.
• Damper is used to collect the water in S.S. MEASURING TANK for certain time.
• Pipe & ISI mark Control Valve and regulating valves are used to circulate water.
• This apparatus is used to verify the momentum equation experimentally.
• This is also used for comparison of change in force exerted due to shape of the vane for different targets (Flat or curved).
• Bye-pass line is also used to regulate the discharge.
• This apparatus consists of a Perspex cylinder of 150 mm dia with two interchangeable targets (curved and plane).
• A nozzle of 10 mm is fitted to produce jet. A scale is provided on the top to measure the displacement of plate.
• Five additional weights of 100 gm. each are also provided.
• Powder coated paint — the tanks are well hence increase the life of tank.

Experimental capability:

• To verify the momentum equation experimentally.
• Comparison of change in force exerted due to shape of the vane for different targets (flat or curved) to circulate water.
