Jet of water having a velocity of 35m/s impingeson a series of vanes moving with velocity of 20m/s. The jet makes angle of 30 to the direction of motion when entering and leave to an angle of 120.

Draw the triangles of velocities at inlet and outlet and find

1)The angle of vanes tips so that water enters and leaves without shock

2)The work done per unit weight of water entering the vanes

3) The efficiency

Given

Jet veloicty v2=35m/s

vane velocity, 4=20m/s

α=30,β=180120=60

1] Vane angle at inlet Θ and exit , ϕ

from inlet velocity ACD

Vw=Ac=v1cosα=30.31 m/s

vs1=CD=V1sinalpha

35 sin 30=17.50m/s

BC=Vw1μ=30.31-20=10.31m/s

enter image description here

vr1BD=(BC)2+(D)2

(10.31)2+(17.8)2

20.31 m/s

Θ=tan1(CDBC)

tan1(17.510.31)=59.5

Consider outlet velocity EGH and neglecting blade friction i,e

Vr2=vr1=20.31 m/s

Applying sine rule to EFG

Vr2sin(180β)=4sin(Bϕ)

20.31sin(18060)=20sin(60Φ)

sin(60ϕ)=0.8528

(60ϕ)=58.52

ϕ=1.48

FH==Vw2=EH-EF

vr2cosϕ-4

20.31cos1.48-20

=0.303 m/s

ii) work done /N weight of water,W

w=12(Vw1+Vw2)u=19.81×(30.31+0.303)

=62.41 Nm/N weight of water

iii) Hydraullic efficiency

nh=Workdone/kg.wk.Esupplied(w2/2)

2(Vw1+Vw2)v2

2×(30.31+0.303)×20352

=0.9996

=99.96
