SMTFHM 150.08 Measurement Of Jet Forces Fluids Engineering Training Equipment Educational Equipment Teaching EquipmentDescription
Investigation of jet forces on deflectors
Demonstration of the principle of linear momentum
Four interchangeable deflectors with different deflection angles
During deceleration, acceleration and deflection of a flowing fluid, there is a change of velocity and thus a change in momentum. Changes in momentum result in forces. In practice, the motive forces are used to convert kinetic energy into work done, for example in a Pelton turbine.
Learning objectives/experiments
