 5.6 Force due to a jet deflected by
stationary curved vane
Water flowing at a rate of 4 m3/s with a velocity
of 20 m/s is deflected through an angle of 40o.
Determine the force on the structure.
 Force and Power due to a jet
deflected by Moving curved vane

Consider a blade that deflects water through an angle

of 150o when stationary. The blade moves away from a
jet of water with a velocity of 18m/s. The jet has a
cross-sectional area of 2787mm2 and a flow rate of 86
litres/s. Determine the Power produced by the blade.
 Forces, Power and Efficiency due to a jet
deflected by moving series of curved
vanes
Consider a blade that deflects water through an angle
of 150o when stationary. A series of these blades move
away from a jet of water with a velocity of 18m/s. The
jet has a cross-sectional area of 2787mm2 and a flow
rate of 86 litres/s. Determine the Power and Efficiency
of this blade system.
