1.0 EXPERIMENT :
Experiment H (Hydraulics Impact Of Jet - Momentum Equation)
1.1 INTRODUCTION :
The momentum equation relates the sum of the forces acting on a fluid element to its
acceleration or rate of change of momentum in the direction of the resultant force.
Whenever the momentum of a stream of fluid is increased in a given direction in passing
from one section to another, there must be a net force acting on the fluid in that direction,
and, by Newton’s third law, there will be an equal and opposite force exerted by the fluid on
the system which is producing the change of momentum. A typical example is the reaction
force exerted when a fluid is discharged in the form of a high-velocity jet, and which is
applied to the propulsion of ships and aircraft through the use of propellers, pure jet engines
and rocket motors. The propulsive force can be determined from the application of the linear
momentum equation to flow through a suitable control volume:
F = m (vout – vin )
F = Total force exerted on the fluid in a control volume in a given direction.
m = Mass flow per unit time.
= Av
= Q
vin = Incoming velocity.
vout = Outgoing velocity.
1.2 OBJECTIVE :
To investigate the validity of theoretical expressions for the force exerted by jet on targets
of various shapes for the momentum equation when the jet strikes a flat plate and a
hemispherical cup. Measuring the force on different targets and comparison with the forces
predicted by momentum theory.

1.9 DISCUSSION :
In this experiment, the force, Fy exerted of the water flow to the target is equal to the weight
in pan. From the result, the error between Fy and weight in pan for 30º target we tested is
between 4.056% and 6.858%.
Volume applied is different for every degree of target plate. For 30o plate, volume of water is
decreasing when mass decreasing. So, the flow rate of water also decreasing and only
slightly minor of error is occurred.
From the observation and discussion, for target plate of 30o, 90o, 120o and 180o, volume of
water increasing correspond to the increasing of mass in according time, and flow rate is
varies. In the 180o plate, the error is negative, which mean the plate is nearly to the nozzle
and the water flow efficiently (please refer to Figure 1.2 : Mass On Weight Pan, M Against
Flow rate, Q2).
1.10 CONCLUSION :
From the graph above, we found that the flow rate increased when mass of weight pan
increased in according time.
After this experiment, we can accept and prove the validity of theoretical expressions for the
force exerted by a jet on targets of various shapes. The force will be an equal and opposite
reaction force exerted on the jet by the target.

2.0 EXPERIMENT :
Bernoulli’s Theorem Demonstration
2.1 INTRODUCTION :
The flow of a fluid has to confirm with a number of scientific principles in particular the
conservation of mass and the conservation of energy.
The first of these when applied to a liquid flowing through a conduit requires that for steady
flow the velocity will be inversely proportional to the flow area. The second requires that if
the velocity increases then the pressure must decrease.
The test section consists of a classical Venturi machined in clear acrylic. A series of wall
tapings allow measurement of the static pressure distribution along the converging pipe.
These tapings are connected to manometer tubes.
Water is fed through a hose connector and is controlled by a flow regulator valve at the
outlet of the test section.
The venturi can be demonstrated as a means of flow measurement and the discharge
coefficient can be determined.
2.2 OBJECTIVE :
To demonstrate the Bernoulli’s Theorem and to investigate the validity of Bernoulli’s
Theorem as applied to the flow of water in a conical pipe.
2.3 APPARATUS :

2.7 DISCUSSION :
The difference between the velocities is caused due to the difference in the cross sectional
area of the water channels. The difference of the velocity also caused due the inner surface
frictional losses. The smaller cross sectional area have a larger velocity value.
2.8 CONCLUSION :
By doing these lab experiment, we observe the theory that stated in Bernoulli theorem, we
see practically in this demonstration experiment. This experiment also proves that the
smallest section in area having a largest velocity which is in Bernoulli’s theorem.

3.6 PROCEDURE :
1. The dye injector is lowered until it is just above the bell mouth inlet.
2. The inlet valve is opened and water is allowed to enter stilling tank.
3. A small overflow spillage through the over flow tube is ensured to maintain a constant level.

5. The flow control valve is opened fractionally to let water flow through the visualizing tube.
6. The dye control needle valve is slowly adjusted until a slow flow with dye injection is
achieved.
7. The water inlet and outlet valve is regulated until a straight identifiable dye line is achieved.
The flow will be laminar.
8. The flow rate is measured using volumetric method.
9. The experiment is repeated by regulating water inlet and outlet valve to produce transitional
and turbulent flow.
3.7 RESULT AND CALCULATION :

3.8 DISCUSSION :
From the calculation done, we observed that flowrates for laminar flow and turbulent flow
are 1.41×10-9 ms-1. So that, the Reynold’s number for both situation is same which is 0.016.
However, the result for transitional flow is almost same but the flowrate is higher than both
laminar and turbulent flow.
The flow rate may be controlled by a valve at the discharge end of the test pipe. Head loss
between two tapping points in the test pipe is measured using an electronic pressure
device.
3.9 CONCLUSION :
From the laboratory test result, we can conclude that the Reynold’s number, R can be
computed by this test. The laminar, transitional and turbulent flow can be specified, and the
variation of friction head along a circular pipe is possible to be investigated, and the
roughness of the pipe should be found by the calculation.

4.0 EXPERIMENT :
Experiment B (Hydrostatic Pressure)
4.1 INTRODUCTION :
The hydrostatic force on any surface is due to the fluid pressure acting on that surface.
Pressure is a normal stress which is positive when in compression. Since the pressure is
everywhere normal to the surface, the resultant pressure force (Fp) is also normal to the
surface. The magnitude of Fp is
where p = ysin , = specific weight of the fluid, y = distance measured from level of zero
pressure and measured in the plane of the surface, and = angle which the plane of the
surface makes with the horizontal.There are 2 types of experiment should be done, such as
partially submerged vertical surface and fully submerged vertical surface. However, this
report only contained of the experiment for partially submerged vertical surface.
4.2 OBJECTIVE :

4.8 DISCUSSION :
From the results obtained, the different percentage between the theoretical part and
experiment part is not obvious. The different between both sides is less than 10%, this lab
results is acceptable.
There are so many differences between theoretical and experimental part caused by human
error. This can be occurred because when taking the reading, it only use eyes look at the
reading directly and not by some apparatus which is more accuracy. This laboratory results
is among the range from normal situation.
4.9 CONCLUSION :
From the graph, we almost get the linear line. Here we determine the static thrust exerted
by a fluid on a partially submerged surface and allow comparison of the measured
magnitude and position.
The higher the mass, the higher the stability force and point we needed. For example like
the ship, they design the center of gravity at the bottom of the ship. Hence it prevents the
ship from sunk.
In the hydrostatic state, the pressure is constant along a horizontal plane, pressure at a
point is independent of orientation and pressure change in any direction is proportional to
the fluid density and vertical change in depth.
Here we also found out that two points at the same depth have the same pressure and
orientation of a surface has no bearing on the pressure at a point in a static fluid.

5.1 INTRODUCTION :
Turbines are classified into 2 general category impulse and reaction. In both types the fluid
passes through a runner having blades. The momentum of fluid in the tangential direction is
changed and so tangential force on the runner is produced the runner therefore rotates and
performs useful work, while the fluid leaves with reduced energy.
5.2 OBJECTIVE :

5.7 DISCUSSION :
From the pelton experiment, we found that the pelton turbine bucket rotate when the water
from spear valve heat at the bucket. When bucket rotate its runs very high rotation and the
rotor that fixed at turbine start too rotated at sane rate of turbine rotates .The rotation of
the bucket depend on the pressure from the spear valve.
5.8 CONCLUSION:
From the calculation, we can plot the Pelton turbine characteristics curve which is consist of
torque, T, brake power, Pb and turbine rotational speed, N for a series of volume flow rates
Qv as shown in 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3.
From the graph, we observe that the efficiency reaches a maximum and then falls. The
torque curve falls constantly and linearly.
Since the speed of the generator is fixed to produce a given frequency of electricity, the
optimum conditions for operation occur when the maximum turbine efficiency coincides with
the rotational speed of the generator.
So that, the load on the generator increases then the flow of water to the turbine must
increase to maintain the required operating speed.

6.0 EXPERIMENT :
Experiment J (Determination Of Coefficient Of Velocity)
6.1 INTRODUCTION :
An orifice is an opening usually circular in the side or base of a tank or reservoir through
which fluid is discharged in the form of a jet, usually into the atmosphere. The volume rate
of flow discharged through an orifice will depend upon the head of the fluid above the level
of the orifice and it can therefore, be used as a means of flow measurements.
The term ‘small orifice’ is applied to an orifice with the head producing flow so that it can be
assumed that this head does not vary appreciably from point to point across the orifice.
By taking the datum for potential energy as the center of the orifice and by applying
Bernoulli’s equation, assuming that there is no loss of energy, then the velocity of jet,
v=(2gh)-2. This is a statement of Torricelli’s theorem that the velocity of the issuing jet is
proportional to the square root of the head producing flow. However, in practice, the actual
discharge is considerably less than the theoretical discharge.
6.2 OBJECTIVE :
To measure the coefficient of velocity for a small orifice opening.

6.7 DISCCUSION :
The experiment show that the water pressure gradually decrease when the head pressure
decreased from high value up certain low value from high head values (refer to table
provided). It can be prove by seeing the graph in Figure 6.1 to 6.5, shows that the curves is
slowly increasing from the origin line up to the certain value(y) in the graph.
6.8 CONCLUSION :
From the experiment, we found out that when the head pressure gradually reduced from
360 up to 280, the water jet power will reduce as well. Therefore the pressure of water is
control by the height of the head pressure up to the outlet of water flows.
