Pump is a fluid machine that runs by a prime-mover like a motor and adds energy to a
fluid through churning and moves water from lower level to higher level or from one
place to another. Hence, it is an energy absorbing device.
Force exerted by the jet on a stationary plate
Impact of Jets
The jet is a stream of liquid comes out from nozzle with a high velocity under
constant pressure. When the jet impinges on plates or vanes, its momentum is changed
due to the force exerted by the vanes.
A Vane or blade is a flat or curved plate fixed to the rim of the wheel.
1. Force exerted by the jet on a stationary and moving plate
a) Plate is vertical to the jet
b) Plate is inclined to the jet
c) Plate is curved
2. Force exerted by the jet on a series of moving plates/ vanes
a) Plate is vertical to the jet
b) Plate is curved (jet striking at the centre or tangentially)
CONSERVATION OF MOMENTUM ANALYSIS FOR FLOW SYSTEMS
F = m a = m (V2 V1) / t
Force exerted by the jet on the plate in the direction of jet, F = m (V1 V2) / t
= ( Q) (V1 V2)
= ( aV) (V)
F = aV2
Force exerted by the jet on a moving plate
F = a(V-u)2
We get u = V/2
And max = 50 %
Force exerted by the jet on a stationary inclined plate
FN = aV2 sin
Fx = FN sin
Fy = FN cos
Force exerted by the jet on a stationary curved plate
F = aV (V (- V cos ))
2. A jet of water from a nozzle is deflected through 600 from its direction by a curved
plate to which water enters tangentially without shock with a velocity of 30m/s
and leaver with a velocity of 25 m/s. If the discharge from the nozzle is 0.8 kg/s,
calculate the magnitude and direction of resultant force on the vane.
Force exerted by the jet on a stationary curved plate
(Symmetrical Plate)
Fx = aV ( V cos - -V Cos )
= 2 aV2 cos

Velo. of whirl, Vw2 = V2 Cos
Velo. of flow, Vf2 = V2 Sin
Vw2 = 0
Force F = Q (Vw1)
W.D/s = Q (Vw1) u
Force exerted by the jet on a moving curved plate with
tangential jet
If > 900
Force F = Q (Vw1 - Vw2)
If < 900
Fx = aV (Vr1 cos + Vr2 cos )
OR
Fx = aV (VW1 + VW2)
Force exerted by the jet on a moving plate
Considering Relative Velocity,
If = 900
Fx = aV (Vr1 cos Vr2 cos )
OR
Fx = aV (VW1)
Force exerted by the jet on a moving plate
Considering Relative Velocity,
If > 900
Fx = aV (Vr1 cos Vr2 cos )
OR
Fx = aV (VW1 VW2)

circular wheel
2. A jet of water impinges a curved plate with a velocity of 20 m/s making an angle of
200 with the direction of motion of vane at inlet and leaves at 1300 to the direction of
motion at outlet. The vane is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. Compute.
i) Vane angles, so that water enters and leaves without shock.
ii) Work done per unit mass flow rate
