IMPACT OF A JET

A cylindrical tank for investigating the force generated by a jet striking plates (representing turbine vanes) to aid in the understanding of how turbines work.

To understand correctly how a turbine (a Pelton wheel for example) works, students need to understand how jet deflection produces a force on turbine vanes. They also need to know how this force affects the rate of momentum flow in the jet. The Impact of a Jet apparatus shows students the force produced by a jet of water as it strikes a flat plate, angled plate, 120 degree plate, or hemispherical cup.

For use with the Digital Hydraulic Bench (available separately), the equipment comprises a transparent cylinder containing a vertically tapered nozzle and a test plate.

The nozzle, supplied by the hydraulic bench, produces a high-velocity jet of water which hits the test plate. Learn about Digital IMPACT OF A JET for optimal educational outcomes.. The test plate connects to a weigh beam assembly with jockey weight which measures the jet force. A drain tube in the base of the cylinder directs water back into the hydraulic bench, allowing accurate flow rate measurement.
