To verify the ‘Impulse Momentum Principle’ for a jet of water striking on 120 and 180
deflectors to investigate the effect of velocity of flow on impulse force of the jet for curved
plate deflector.
2.2 Apparatus
1 Impact of Jet Apparatus with Deflector (120 and 180)
2 Hydraulic Bench
3 Stop Watch
4 Thermometer
5 Curved Plate

2.4 Impact of Jet Apparatus:
Impact of jet apparatus is a very simple apparatus which directly measure the impulse force of
the jet by an equivalent weight placed in the pan. The direction of axis of jet is vertical.
This apparatus consists of following parts
Nozzle
Valve
Glass Chamber
Vertical Rod with collar on upper part
Deflector
Weights
Pointer

2.5 Experimental Procedure
1 Place the test set-up on the hydraulic bench so that the drain routes the water into the
channel. Fit connecting hose between hydraulic bench and equipment.
2 Use adjusting screw to set pointer to zero (zero notch). When doing so, do not place
any loading weights on measurement system.
3 Now make sure that the defector is almost 𝟏𝟎 𝒎𝒎 away from the nozzle before
applying any load with the help of spring and the plate.
4 Place the load of 100 gm and gradually open the valve till the collar reaches its original
position.
5 Note down the time to collect the known volume of water.
6 Repeat the previous steps for 100 gm load increment till the valve is completely open.
7 Switch off pump, open drain.
