Product Details

The Impact of Jet Apparatus is used to study the reaction forces produced when a water jet strikes and deflects against different vanes, a principle applied in turbines and hydraulic machinery. The unit includes a transparent tank, nozzle, four interchangeable PVC deflectors, and a weight-loaded spring. The jet force is controlled by adjusting flow rate, and experiments measure the effects of velocity, discharge, and deflection angle. The measured forces are compared with theoretical predictions from the momentum equation. This apparatus provides valuable insight into jet dynamics and momentum transfer, offering students both practical measurements and theoretical validation.
