of the liquid jet acting on the deflector as a function of the inclined
angle
, as illustrated in Fig. 4.29, and compare the divided mass
from rate of

and
2
m
. Discuss the difference between the force
1x
F (the force acting on the nozzle, Problem 4.1-4), and the force
x
F
(the
component of force acting on the deflector). Assume the liq-
uid is a perfect fluid and the column of the jet is kept constant with-
out the vena contracta.

4.1-6 In treating a drag force acting on a flat plate, there would not be any
drag force on the plate if the fluid flowing on the plate is a perfect
fluid. This is due to the reason that there is no viscosity, so that the
flow over the plate is kept constant at the approaching velocity
f
U ;
namely, the flow slips (the slip condition) on the plate and there
would not be any momentum change of the fluid, thus the drag force
x
F is null, as depicted in Fig. 4.30(a). However, in a more realistic
situation, fluid has a viscosity and the velocity at the surface of the
plate is kept at zero; a no-slip condition. Consequently, the velocity
on the plate has a distribution to the perpendicular direction ( y -
direction) against the flow direction (
-direction), which is called
the boundary layer. Due to the boundary layer, there would be a
momentum change in the control volume (1-2-3-4), including the
boundary layer, as illustrated in Fig. 4.30(b). Determine the overall
