Jet of water having a velocity of 35m/s impingeson a series of vanes moving with velocity of 40m/s impinges on a series of Vanes moving with velocity of 20 m/sec.

The jet males an angle of $30^{\circ}$ to the direction of motion of vanes when entering and leaves of an angle 120$^\circ$. Draw the velocity triangles and inlet at outlet and determine

1) The inlet and outlet vane angles so that water enters and leaves without shocks

ii) The work done per N of water entering the Vanes

iii) The efficiency of the system

Inlet and outlet Velocity diagram are

$v_{1}$=40m/s u=20m/s

$\alpha=30^{\circ}= \ \ \ \beta=180-20=60^{\circ}$

enter image description here

i) Inlet Vane angle $\Theta$and Outlet Vane angle $\phi$

Consider inlet velocity $\triangle ACD$

AD=$Vw_{1}=V_{1}cos\alpha$

40Cos 30=34.64m/s

CD=$V_{f}=V_{1}sin\alpha=40 sin30$

=20m/s

BD=AD-AB

=34.64-10=14.64m/s

$Vr_{1}=\sqrt{(BD)^{2}+(CD)^{2}}$

=\sqrt{(14.64)^{2}+(20)^{2}}=24.78m/s

Vr_{2}=Vr_{1}=24.78 m/s

(On neglecting blace friction)

$\Theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{Vf_{1}}{BD})=tan^{-1}(\frac{20}{14.64})$

$\Theta=53.79^{\circ}$

Consider outlet $\triangle$ EFG and …
