Jet Strikes Curved Plate is Symmetrical or Unsymmetrical

Jet strikes this curved plate on one end tangentially during the plate is symmetrical 

Let this jet strikes the curved fixed plate on one end tangentially as presented in Fig.

a jet strikes a curved plate at its, force exerted by jet of water on unsymmetrical moving curved plate, in a stationary vertical plate the jet after striking the plate will move, a jet after striking a smooth plate comes out with a, the force analysis on a curved vane is understood using, force exerted by jet on moving plate, impact of jet on moving vertical plate, a jet after striking a smooth plate comes out with a velocity, impact of jet nptel, a jet of water 50 mm in diameter, impulse of jet, explain a term of impact jet, impact of jet on series of vanes, impact of jet on vanes applications, impact of jet on curved vanes, impact of jet on hinged plate, force of jet striking at centre, impact of jet mcq, curved vane,
  • Let the curved plate is symmetrical about the x-axis.
  • Then the angle made by the tangents at the two ends of the plate will be the same.

Let

v = Velocity of a jet of water,

θ = Angle made by jet with the x-axis at the inlet tip of the curved plate.

  • If the plate is smooth including loss of energy due to impact is zero when the velocity of water at the outlet tip of the curved plate will be similar to V.
  • These forces exerted by the jet of water in the during of x and y are,

Fx = (mass/sec) x [v1x – v2x]

= ρav[vcosθ – (-vcosθ)]

= ρav[vcosθ + vcosθ]

= 2ρav^2 cosθ

Fy = ρav [vly – v2y]

= ρav [vsinθ – vsinθ]

= 0

Jet strikes each curved plate at one end tangentially this plate is unsymmetrical

  • If the curved plate is unsymmetrical nearly the x-axis when the angle made by the tangents drawn at the inlet also outlet tips of the plate with the x-axis will be another.

Let

θ = angle made with tangent at inlet tip by the x-axis,

ϕ = angle made with tangent at outlet tip by the x-axis.

  • The two components of the velocity at the inlet are v1x = v cosθ and v1y = v sinθ
  • The two components of the velocity at the outlet are v2x = v cosϕ and v2y = v sinϕ

The forces exerted by the jet of water in the directions of x and y are

Fx = ρav [v1x – v2x]

= ρav [v cosθ – (-v cosϕ)]

= ρav [v cosθ + vcosϕ]

= ρav^2 [cosθ + cosϕ]

Fy = ρav [v1y – v2y]

= ρav [v sinθ – v sinϕ]

= ρav^2 [sinθ – sinϕ]
