Impact of Jet on Vanes
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9919
The Impact of Jet on Vanes apparatus (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9919) measures the force a water jet exerts on different surfaces so that it can be compared with the value predicted by momentum theory. JaincoLab manufactures this impact of jet on vanes set-up for fluid mechanics practicals in civil and mechanical engineering colleges and polytechnics, with a flat plate and a hemispherical cup as interchangeable targets inside a transparent test section.
Specifications
A pump circulates water from the supply tank to one nozzle pointing vertically upward inside a transparent enclosure; the jet strikes a flat plate or hemispherical cup on a spring-loaded stem, and the stem lift and weights added to the pan give the force, while a measuring tank and stopwatch give the flow.

Applications of the impact of jet on vanes apparatus
The impact of jet on vanes apparatus shows how the force on a surface depends on the flow rate and on how far the surface turns the jet, which students check against momentum theory for a flat plate and a hemispherical cup in fluid mechanics practicals.
- Measuring the force developed by the impact of a jet on a flat plate
- Measuring the force on a hemispherical cup and comparing it with the flat plate
- Comparing measured forces with momentum theory at different flow rates
- Fluid mechanics and hydraulic machines practicals in engineering colleges and polytechnics
