Hydrostatic Forces on submerged area
/6.0
A jet of water flowing freely in the atmosphere (x-direction) hits a curvel If the vane is assumed frictionless, determine the magnitude of the resul by the vane and its direction.
Given that water density is 1.94 slug/ft3
The velocity of the water jet is 10.8ftsec
The diameter of the pipe is 2 in .
Ignore the weight of water on the vane
Solution:
1.) The curved vane resists the hydrodynamic force (F) of the jet.
Vz=Vouty=
Vx=Vinx=
Viny=Voutx=
2.) Flow rate Q=
3.) For a fixed deflector
Fx=Q(voutx-vinx)=
FY=Q(vouty-viny)=
4.) Thus, magnitude of the resistant force is F= Direction of the resistant force is =
Hydrostatic Forces on submerged area / 6 . 0 A
