I already have shown you , bonehead.

the q*ve = a sum
then you add that sum to the
(pe-pa)*Ae

LOL

F = q × Ve + (Pe - Pa) × Ae

you are leaving out one of the sums.

There are two sources of force that move the pipe


true , ..... it just so happens that you are leaving
one of them out !!!

so when you add them together your answer is incorrect
because one of them is zero.

the pressure differential and the expansion of the gas once it leaves the pipe (captured by the nozzle).


Wrong ... the pressure differencial and the expansion are
the (Pe-Pa)*Ae side of the formula...

the two forces are

the mass flow rate * velocity (q*Ve)
+
the expanding gasses (Pe-Pa)*Ae

F = (q*Ve)+(Pe-Pa)*Ae

"you're just too stupid to understand "

you have already stated these previously.

so why did you leave out Momentum , mass * velocity

and why did you leave out half the equation.


perhaps to try and twist around a result?
one that would prove you wrong...
