Introduction Newtons second law
important when it comes to determining fluid forces
usually easier to monitor a selected area than followindividual fluid particles.
Control Volume analysis Newtons second law is converted to the Conservation of
Linear Momentum Equation for Control Volumes

nd
Law The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to
the net force acting on the body, and inverselyproportional to its mass.
Thus, F=ma

Conservation of Momentum
Assumptions The jet is a free jet open to the atmosphere
Pressure is atmospheric
The vane is smooth, and there is no friction betweenthe jet and the vane
The jet velocity is uniform throughout its path
The fluid is incompressible

Conservation of Momentum By setting certain assumptions in place, one can use
the Conservation of Momentum with integral controlvolume analysis to relate fluid flows and velocitieswith forces.
F=moutVout- minVin Where m=mass flow rate, and V=velocity
7/29/2019 fluids lab presentation

Force Equation Derivation Noting that the mass flow rate equals Q, the pressure
and shear forces cancel leaving only the force actingthrough the vertical nozzle in the y direction
Thus,
F=Fy=Q(Vout-Vin)y
7/29/2019 fluids lab presentation

Flat Vane In the case of a flat vane, the outflow velocity Vout is
related to the inflow velocity through the angle , sincethe outflow velocity is only in the x direction there isno y component leaving
F=QVin(1-cos)
For a flat vane =90o
, reducing the equation to:F=QVin

11/34
Cupped Vane In the case for a cupped vane the outflow velocities are
in both the x and y directions. If =135o
F=QVin(1-cos(135o
))F=1.7071QVin

Velocity Decrease Due to Gravity The relationship between the jet velocity at the nozzle
and the vane is derived from Bernoullis Equation

Step 1 Position the weight carrier on the weight platform.
Measure the distance from exit of the nozzle to the
surface of the vane. Move the pointer flag so it alignswith the weight platform to provide initialequilibrium conditions.
Add the initial 520 grams of weight to the platform.

Step 2 Now start the pump and establish the water flow by
steadily opening the regulating valve until it is fullyopen and the pump is at maximum. The impact of
the jet will deflect the vane.

Step 3 Place additional weights until the weight platform isagain floating in mid position.
Record the weight.
Then measure the flow rate using the volume meter torecord the water volume and a stopwatch to record thetime. To keep this measurement accurate, wait until the
volume has reached 50 Liters and then record the time.

21/34
Step 4 Reduce the weight on the carrier and maintain the
equilibrium position by regulating the flow rate.
Record the weight on the carrier, water volume, and
time it takes to reach that water volume for eachdecrease in weight.
Now close the bench regulating valve and switch offthe pump. Allow the apparatus to drain.
