 LAB SESSION 1
To verify the ‘Impulse Momentum Principle’ for a jet of water striking on 90° deflector
to investigate the effect of velocity of flow on impulse force of the jet for Flat plate
deflector.
1.1 Learning Objectives:

• Derive the expression for impact of jet on flat.

• Calculate the co-efficient of impact.
1.2 Apparatus
1. Impact of Jet Apparatus with Deflector (90°)
2. Hydraulic Bench
3. Stop Watch
4. Thermometer
1.3 Related theory
The force made by the jet which hits a surface is obtained by applying the conservation
equation of the movement quantity. This force, for a stationary regime and taking into
account that its horizontal component is canceled, comes given by the expression:

Fy = 𝜌 . Q. (V – V. cos α) N
Impulse Momentum Principle
It states that the algebraic sum of all the external forces acting on the control volume of the
fluid is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

Mathematical:
According to the newton’s 2nd law of motion

Where, Σ𝐹 is the net force, m is the mass of object and 𝑎 is the acceleration or rate of change
of velocity.

Where

Where, M is the mass flow rate, 𝜌 is the density of fluid and “Q” is the discharge.
So,
Negative sign shows the direction of the impulse force which is opposite to the force of jet.

Where, A is the area of flow and 𝑉 is the velocity of fluid.

1.4 Impact of Jet Apparatus:
Impact of jet apparatus is a very simple apparatus which directly measure the impulse force
of the jet by an equivalent weight placed in the pan. The direction of axis of jet is vertical.
This apparatus consists of following parts

• Nozzle
• Valve
• Glass Chamber
• Vertical Rod with collar on upper part
• Deflector
• Weights
• Pointer

1.5 Experimental Procedure
1. Place the test set-up on the hydraulic bench so that the drain routes the water into the
channel. Fit connecting hose between hydraulic bench and equipment.
2. Use adjusting screw to set pointer to zero (zero notch). When doing so, do not place
any loading weights on measurement system.
3. Now make sure that the defector is almost away from the nozzle before applying any
load with the help of spring and the plate.

4. Place the load of 100 gm and gradually open the valve till the collar reaches its
original position.
5. Note down the time to collect the known volume of water.

6. Repeat the previous steps for 100 gm load increment till the valve is completely
open.
7. Switch off pump, open drain.

1.10 Conclusion:
• Graph shows that as the experimental force is increased the velocity of the fluid is
also increased.
• At 90°, angle of deflector, experimental force and theoretical force shows a step
vise ascending line behavior.
• Percentage error shows that by performing practical, some mistakes occurred.
