ZM8146 Impact of a Jet Demonstration Apparatus Fluid Mechanics Experiment Equipment Didactic Equipment

Purpose – This equipment enables students to measure the force developed by a jet of water impinging upon a stationary object.

ORDERING SPECIFICATION

• Discharge nozzle inside clear acrylic cylinder
• Four different target plates which fit onto a balance mechanism
• Quick release fitting for easy connection to hydraulics bench

This equipment allows the force developed by a jet of water impinging upon a stationary object to be measured.

MEASUREMENT CAPABILITIES

• Measuring the force exerted on different targets and  comparison with the forces predicted by momentum theory
