This setup is made to help students and users understand how a jet pump works and how well it performs. It includes a Monoblock jet pump that is connected to an electric motor. The system has a supply tank, a measuring tank, and pipes that allow oil to circulate in a closed loop. To check the pressure levels, pressure and vacuum gauges are placed on both the delivery and suction sides of the pump. The amount of water flowing through the system is measured using the measuring tank along with a stopwatch.

Experimental Objective

Determine the overall efficiency and pump efficiency of the jet pump.

Plot graphs of head versus discharge and pump efficiency versus discharge.
