Problem 1: "A plane jet of water strikes a splitter vane and divides into two flat streams as shown in the picture. You are asked to find a) the mass flow ratio, m/m, required to produce zero net force in the vertical direction on the splitter vane, b) the horizontal force that must be applied under these conditions to maintain the vane motion at a steady speed of 10 m/s."
Problem 2: Air enters the fan shown in the figure at a purely radial velocity, V. The blade discharge angle is 30 degrees measured with respect to the tangential direction at the outside diameter of the rotor. Find:
a) What would be a reasonable blade inlet angle?
b) Find the power required to run the fan.
