Here are the key steps to solve this problem:
1) The force exerted by the jet is equal to the momentum change.
2) Momentum at inlet = 1/2 * density * velocity^2 * area of jet
3) Momentum at outlet = 1/2 * density * (velocity after deflection)^2 * area of jet
4) Set the momentum change equal to the force and solve for force.
5) The velocity after 120° deflection can be found using conservation of energy and Bernoulli's equation.
Let me know if you need help with any of the calculations. Solving momentum-based fluid mechanics problems systematically is the key.

• The Francis turbine is a type of water turbine that
was developed by James B. Francis in Lowell, Massachusetts. It is an inward-flow reaction turbine that combines radial and axial flow concepts. • Francis turbines are almost always mounted with the shaft vertical to isolate water from the generator. Theory
• In the modern Francis turbine, the water enters the
runner of the turbine in the radial direction and leaves in the axial direction at the outlet of the runner. Thus the modern Francis turbine is a mixed flow type turbine. • In this type of turbine there is a gradual pressure drop takes place continuously over the fixed and moving blades or over guide vanes and moving vanes. • The function of the guides’ vanes is that they alter the direction of water as well as increases its velocity. • As the water passes over the moving vanes its kinetic energy is absorbed by them. The Main Parts Of The Francis Turbine
• Penstock • Casing • Guide mechanism • Runner • Draft tube The Main Parts Of The Francis Turbine
• Penstock: - It is a long pipe at the outlet of which a nozzle
is fitted. The water from reservoir flows through the penstock. The nozzle increases the kinetic energy of water flowing through the penstock. • Casing: - In case of reaction turbine, casing and runner are always full of water. The water from the penstocks enters the casing which is of spiral shape in which area of cross-section of the casing goes on decreasing gradually. The casing completely surrounds the runner of the turbine. The casing is made of spiral shape, so that the water may enter the runner at constant velocity throughout the circumference of the runner. The casing is made of concrete or cast steel. The Main Parts Of The Francis Turbine • Guide Mechanism: - It consists of a stationary circular wheel all-round the runner of the turbine. The stationary guide vanes are fixed on the guide mechanism. The guide vanes allow the water to strike the vanes fixed on the runner without shock at inlet. Also by a suitable arrangement, the width between two adjacent vanes of a guide’s mechanism can be altered so that the amount of water striking the runner can vary. • Runner: - It is a circular wheel on which a series of radial curved vanes are fixed. The surface of the vanes is made very smooth. The radial curved vanes are so shaped that the water enters and leaves the runner without shock. The runners are made of cast steel, cast iron or stainless steel. They are keyed to the shaft. The Main Parts Of The Francis Turbine
• Draft tube: - The pressure at the exit of the runner of a
reaction turbine is generally less than atmosphere pressure. The water at exit cannot be directly discharged to the tail race. A tube or pipe of gradually increasing area is used for discharging water from the exit of the turbine to the tail race. This tube of increasing area is called draft tube. The draft tube, in addition to serve a passage for water discharge, has the following two purposes also. • The turbine may be placed above the tail race and hence turbine may be inspected properly. • The kinetic energy rejected at the outlet of the turbine is converted into useful pressure energy Specifications:- Type –Reaction Turbine Type of flow – Mixed (Radial & Axial) Head –Medium 45 to 250m Specific speed – Medium 50 to 250 Shaft position – Mainly vertical ( it may be horizontal also ) Discharge – Medium Francis turbine- Working of Francis Turbine.mp4 Governing Mechanism
1. The governing mechanism changes the position of
guide blades to affect a variation in the water flow rate in the wake of changing load condition of the turbine. 2. When the load changes, the governing mechanism rotates all guide blades about their axis through the same angle so that the water flow rate to the runner and its direction essentially remain the same at the all passages between any two consecutive guide vans. 3. When guide vanes are suddenly closed, the relief valve opens and diverts the water direct to tail race. Que.2 A wheel consists of radial blade with inner & outer radii of 300 mm & 600 mm respectively. Water enters the blade at outer periphery with 50 m/s and supply jet makes an angle of 250 with the tangent to vane at inlet. Water leaving the blade has flow velocity of 10m/s. If blade angle at inlet and exit are 400 & 300 respectively. Determine: (i) Work done per Newton of water (ii) Speed of wheel (ii) Efficiency of blading. Que.3 A jet of data 75 mm diameter has a velocity of 30 m/s. It strikes a flat plate inclined at 45o to the axis of jet. Find the force on the plate when- a. The plate is stationary b. The plate is moving with a velocity of 15 m/s along and away from the jet. Also find power and efficiency in case (b) Que. 4 A 75 mm diameter jet having a velocity of 12 m/s impinges a smooth flat plate, the normal of which is inclined at 60o to the axis of jet. Find the impact of jet on the plate at right angles to the plate when the plate is stationery. What will be the impact if the plate moves with a velocity of 6 m/s in the direction of jet and away from it? What will be the force if the plate moves towards the plate? Que. 5 A jet of water of diameter 50 mm strikes a stationary, symmetrical curved plate with a velocity of 40 m/s. Find the force extended by the jet at the centre of plate along its axis if the jet is deflected through 120o at the outlet of the curved plate.
