Force exerted by a jet of water on an asymmetrical curved vane when the jet strikes tangentially at one of the tips:  

i) Vane angles, so that water enters and leaves without shock. A jet of water impinges a curved plate with a velocity of 20 m/s making an angle of 20o with the direction of motion of vane at inlet and leaves at 130o to the direction of motion at outlet. The vane is moving with a velocity of 10 m/s. i) Vane angles, so that water enters and leaves without shock. ii) Work done/s V1 = 20 m/s U1 = U2 = 10 m/s Assuming number loss Vr1 = Vr2 Vw1 = 20 cos 20 = 18.79 m/s Vf1 = 20 sin 20 = 6.84 m/s

Jet Propulsion Jet propulsion means propulsion or movement of the bodies such as ships , rockets, aircrafts etc with the help of jet. The reaction of the jet coming out from the nozzle attached to the bodies is used to move the bodies. A/c Newton’s third law of motion, every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The fluid coming out from the nozzle exerts a force on the nozzle in the opposite direction.

Jet Propulsion of Ships By the application of jet propulsion, the ship is driven through a water. jet of water is discharged at the back of ships, exerts a propulsive force on the ship. The ship carries a centrifugal pump which draws a water from surrounding sea. The water is discharged through the orifice which is fitted at the back of the ship in the form of jet.

Case-1 Jet propulsion of the ship, when inlet orifice is at right angle to the direction of motion of ship V = velocity of jet coming out at the back of ship. U = velocity of ship = relative velocity of jet w.r.t ship V and U are in opposite direction . Relative velocity of jet w.r.t ship = V +U Mass of jet issuing from nozzle at the back of ship = ρa (V +U) Force exerted by the jet on the ship = mass of water issuing/s x change in velocity F = ρa (V +U) x ( - u ) = ρa (V +U) x ((V +U) –u) F = ρaV (V +U) Work done = F x u = ρaV (V +U) x u

Case-2 Jet propulsion of the ship, when inlet orifice facing the direction of motion of ship
