Exactly - and [Pt-Pa]Ae calculate the portion of that derived from the differential pressure.

Im right and your wrong , your just too boneheaded to admit it.


No, you're just too stupid to understand what that formula is calculating. There are two sources of force that move the pipe - the pressure differential and the expansion of the gas once it leaves the pipe (captured by the nozzle).

To calculate the former you need only the differential pressure and cross-sectional area connecting the two regions.

To calculate the later you need the mass and the acceleration provided by the nozzle.

LOL, stupid is funny!



no I didnt I included the correct formula


In that case you can certainly show where your formula varieties from mine.

Of course, we both know you won't, as your formula is the exact same one I have been using since day 1. Swapping symbols doesn't change the formula itself.
