IMPACT OF JET ON VANES

PRODUCT DETAILS

Description

The present setup is designed to study the impact of jet on stationary vanes. It consists of test section fitted with a nozzle at the bottom through which water is fed and discharged vertically to strike a target carried on a stem, which extends through the cover. A weight carrier is mounted on the upper end of the stem and dead weight of the moving parts is counter balanced by a compression spring. The vertical force exerted on the target plate is measured for applied weights. Two targets are provided with the setup, which can be attached or detached easily without need of any extra tool. Centrifugal pump is used to re-circulate the water from sump tank to the test section and is returned back to the sump tank. Flow diverter is provided to divert the flow either to measuring tank or sump tank. Experiments can be conducted on different flow rates and measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch.
