OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the reaction force
produced by the impact of jet of water to a variety of type of target vanes
and experimentally determine the force required to keep a target at a
datum level while it is subjected to the impact of water jet. The
experiment is also conducted to test the validity of theoretical expression
for the calculation of the force.
THEORY
When a water jet of velocity V hits a target plate, its velocity will change direction to V0 as
shown in figure below.
Assume the jet flow rate is W kg/sec along the X (vertical axis) with V m/sec. After striking
the target the jet velocity becomes V0 m/sec and its direction deviate from the original
direction by angle .
Momentum of jet before hitting the target plate = WV kg-m/
Momentum of jet ater hitting the target plate = WV0
kg-m/
This impact force
= change in momentum
= WV0
kg-m/
- WV kg-m/
= Newton
Reaction F by the target plate
F = WV0 Newton
N = kg-m/
Reaction F for various target are
F on Flat target:
= 90 degree,
=0
FF = WV Newton
F on 120 cone target :
= 120 degree,
= - 0.5
Assume very little energy loss between nozzle and target
V = V0
FC = WV
= 1.5 WV0
F on hemisphere target :
= 180 degree,
= -1
3
FH = WV
= 2 WV0 or 2 times that of flat target
APPARATUS
The apparatus is set up using the following steps:

1. Water from a Hydraulics Bench is connected to an inlet pipe at the bottom of a clear
acrylic tank diameter 200(mm) such that water jet and its impact or target plate can be
easily seen.
2. Water is discharged vertically through a nozzle diameter 7(mm).
3. Three target plates each diameter 36(mm) is provided :
(i)
Plate
(ii)
120 degree cone
(iii)
Hemisphere
4. The target place is connected to a vertical stem with spring near which a stem level
indicator is provided. This indicator is set when there is no jet and also weight on the
stem.
5. Selected weights are then placed on the stem and at the same time flow rate of water
jet is adjusted to hit the target plate raising it to its original level. Weights provided are
10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 (gram).
6. Flow rate of the water jet can be obtained from the Hydraulics Bench measuring tank.
PROCEDURE
1. The equipment is adjusted to an approximate level to make sure the jet is vertical.
2. The required target plate is installed and the stem level indicator is adjusted to a fixed
point on the stem.
3. 200 gram weight is put on the stem so that the stem will lower it-self.
4. The hydraulic bench valve is opened to allow the jet to hits the target and the flow is
adjusted until the stem rises to its original level.
5. The volume and time on measuring tank are recorded.
6. Steps 3 to 6 are repeated with increasing weights.
4
7. Step 6 is repeated for other types of target plates. The plates are designed such that
heights above nozzle are the same for all targets.
8. The graph of Impact Force on vane is plotted, F (N) versus Rate of Delivery of
momentum, WVo (N) for different types of target plates.
9. Comments on results are obtained

Impact force vs Momentum For Flat Plate
Calculations
The Mass Flow Rate is calculated by the following formula:
1 Liter = 1 kg
Mass Flow Rate,W : 4 kg
14.03 sec
: 0.2851 kg/sec
The Jet Cross Section, A0 is calculated by the following formula:
A0 = D2
4
= (22/7)(72) = 38.5 mm2 = 3.85x10-5 m2
4
The Exit Jet Velocity,V is calculated by the following formula:
V=
W
A0
=
0.2851
(1000)(3.85x10-5)
= 7.4053 m/sec
The Velocity Deflected by Vane, V0 is calculated by the following formula:

V0 = V2 2G
= (7.4053)2 2(9.81)(0.030)
= 7.3654 m/sec
The Momentum, m (after hitting the target plate) is calculated by the following formula:
Momentum = WV0
= 0.2851(7.3654)
= 2.0999 N
The Impact Force is calculated by the following formula:
Impact Force: WV0 cos - WV
Where for Flat target plate

*(The other calculations are done using the same steps.)

DISCUSSION
Based on the result that we get, what we can observe is that if the plate curvature
increases, the force retaining also increases. The result that we get when plotting the graph
(flat plate) for the impact force against momentum is increasing nearly. However the result
that we get is not stable. As for the flat plate, when taking the time, the time taken that we
take does not have same proportion. Sometimes it will increase but then decreasing and
increasing again. Some errors might occur while doing this experiment. Before start taking
the time we need to make sure the bottom of the load should have same level with the
original level. This is to ensure the accuracy of our results. Other than that, parallax error also
might have occurred when reading the volume of water level. Human error also contributed
to the error when conducting the experiment. Our members might start taking the time late
that it should be.
CONCLUSION
As a conclusion, the initial objective is met because we are able to conduct the
experiment well. We are also able to plot the graph of Impact force versus momentum. The
result varies because there are some errors occurred during conducting the experiment as
stated above. We also managed to calculate the Mass Flow Rate, Exit Jet Velocity, Velocity
deflected by vane, Momentum and Impact force by using the provided formula. Other than
that there is no problem during conducting the experiment.
CRITIQUE
We successfully conduct our experiment by referring the lab manual. The problem is
just that the lab manual has some typos when explaining the formula derivation.
