Question

The force analysis on a curved vane is understood using______

(a) Velocity triangles

(b) Angle of the plate

(c) Vane angles

(d) Plate dimensions

The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.

My enquiry is from Force Exerted by a Jet on a Series of Vanes in chapter Impact of Jets and Jet Propulsion of Fluid Mechanics

Answer 1

Right answer is (a) Velocity triangles

For explanation: The force analysis on a curved vane is understood using clearly using the study of velocity triangles. There are two types of velocity triangles, inlet velocity triangle and outlet velocity triangle.
