6.25: PROBLEM DEFINITION
Situation:
A horizontal, two-dimensional water jet deflected by a fixed vane.
v1=40ft/s, w2=0.2ft, w3=0.1ft.
Find:
Components of force, per foot of width, to hold the vane stationary (lbf/ft).
Assumptions:
Neglect elevation changes.
Neglect viscous effects.
Properties:
Water, Table A.5: ρ=1.94 slug/ft3.
PLAN
Apply the Bernoulli equation, the continuity equation, and finally the momentum
equation.
SOLUTION
Force and momentum diagrams
Continuity equation
Momentum equation (x-direction)
