A chamber with one side acrylics is provided for visualization of impact of jet on vanes. The set-up consists of a sump tank with centrifugal pump to circulate water. Water from sump tank flows through a nozzle and strikes vertically the vane positioned above the nozzle. Arrangement is made for the movement of the plate of the vane under the action of the jet and also because of the weight placed on the loading hanger. Measuring tank and stop watch is provided for flow measurement.

The unit consists of a plate, placed in the path of a liquid jet, experiences a force on it. This force can be calculated from the impulse-momentum equation, which is based on Newton’s Second Law of Motion.
