Distribution of Pressure on a Surface on which a Jetimpinges normally.
This is the crudest form of a kind of pump known as the jet pump.
Since the contraction of the jet is due to the convergence towards the orifice of the issuing streams, it will be diminished if for any portion of the edge of the orifice the convergence is prevented.
Hence the maximum intensity of the pressure of the jeton the plane is h ft.
The principle of momentum gives readily enough the total or resultant pressure of a jet impinging on a plane surface, but in some cases it is useful to know the distribution of the pressure.
This result is often used as an approximate expression for the velocity of greatest efficiency when a jet of water strikes the floats of a water wheel.
