Dynamic Forces On Curve Surfaces Due To The Impingement of Liquid Jets

The document discusses the dynamic forces on curved surfaces due to liquid jet impingement. A fluid jet strikes a series of curved vanes on a rotating wheel with an absolute velocity V1. The relative velocity of the jet Vr1 at the inlet is determined by subtracting the vane velocity u from V1. Force analysis is conducted using momentum equations for a control volume moving with the vane's uniform velocity u. The force F developed on the vane is equal to the rate of change of momentum and is opposite to the force Fc applied by the vane. Power developed and efficiency of the vane in developing power are also defined.

Dynamic Forces on Curve Surfaces due to the Impingement of Liquid Jets

The principle of fluid machines is based on the utilization of useful work due to the force exerted by a
fluid jet striking and moving over a series of curved vanes in the periphery of a wheel rotating about its
axis. The force analysis on a moving curved vane is understood clearly from the study of the inlet and
outlet velocity triangles as shown in Fig. 11.6.

The fluid jet with an absolute velocity V1 strikes the blade at the inlet. The relative velocity of the jet Vr1
at the inlet is obtained by subtracting vectorially the velocity u of the vane from V1. The jet strikes the
blade without shock if 1 (Fig. 11.6) coincides with the inlet angle at the tip of the blade. If friction is
neglected and pressure remains constant, then the relative velocity at the outlet is equal to that
at the inlet (Vr2 = Vr1).

The control volume as shown in Fig. 11.6 is moving with a uniform velocity u of the vane.Therefore we
have to use Eq.(10.18d) as the momentum theorem of the control volume at its steady state. Let Fc be
the force applied on the control volume by the vane.Therefore we can write

To keep the vane translating at uniform velocity, u in the direction as shown. the force F has to act
opposite to Fc Therefore,
