Impact of Jet On Vanes Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-14096

This laboratory apparatus is designed to experimentally demonstrate the fundamental principle of linear momentum and quantify the force developed by a water jet impinging upon different geometric surfaces. The setup directs a vertical stream of water, discharged from a brass nozzle, onto a target plate mounted on a vertical stem. The resultant force exerted by the jet is measured mechanically by adding calibrated weights to a pan until a balance is achieved, counteracting the force exerted by the jet. Key to the experiment is the direct comparison of the measured force against the force calculated using the theoretical momentum equation. Two primary targets, a flat plate and a hemispherical cup, are provided to investigate the effect of the target geometry on the momentum change.

Objective: Momentum Principle Validation
