MECH Week 14 – Assignment:

Guide Questions:

1. Define the coefficient of velocity

- Coefficient of Velocity(Cv) is defined as the ratio between the actual velocity of a jet
of liquid at vena-contracta and the theoretical velocity of the jet. C v = V 2 g H.
2. Understand the coefficient of discharge, velocity impact of jets and power of jets.
- The coefficient of discharge, velocity impact of jets, and power of jets are all
important concepts in fluid mechanics. Understanding these concepts is essential for
engineers and scientists who work with fluids, such as those in the fields of
aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering.
3. Explain the power of jets in terms of velocity of the liquid and cross-sectional area of an
enclosed pipe.
- Jets are powerful streams of liquid that are used in a variety of applications, from
cleaning to propulsion. The power of jets can be explained in terms of the velocity of
the liquid and the cross-sectional area of an enclosed pipe.
4. Identify system onboard where application of jet power is applied.
- Jet power is a crucial element in modern-day transportation systems, especially in
the aviation industry. The use of jet power has revolutionized the way we travel,
making long-distance travel much faster and more efficient. Onboard, there are
several systems where the application of jet power is applied, and these systems are
critical to the safe and effective operation of the aircraft.
