//Fluid system - By - Shiv Kumar //Chapter 2 - Impact of Jet //Example 2.7 clc clear //Given Data:- W=55.50; //Weight of plate, N V=8; //Velocity of the Jet, m/s d=22; //Diameter of the Jet, mm AG=125; //Distance between centre of gravity of plate from hinge, mm AC=150; //Distance between axis of Jet and hinge, mm theta=35; //Deflection, degrees //Data Used:- rho=1000; //Density of water, kg/m^3 //Computations:- d=d/1000; //m AC=AC/1000; //m AG=AG/1000; //m a=(%pi/4)*d^2; //cross sectional area of Jet, m^2 Fx=rho*a*V^2; //N //Taking moment about hinge point 'A', P=Fx*AC/AG; //N Fn=(W*AG*sind(theta)+P*AG*cosd(theta))/(AC/cosd(theta)); //N V1=sqrt(Fn/(rho*a*cosd(theta))); //Absolute Velocity of Jet, m/s velocity_increase=V1-V; //Velocity Increase of the Jet, m/s //Results:- printf("(a)Horizontal force applied at centre of gravity to maintain the plate in vertical position, P=%.3f N \n", P) //The answer vary due to round off error printf("(b)Increase in velocity of Jet=%.3f m/s", velocity_increase) //The answer vary due to round off error
