Impact force - Nozzle hydraulic analysis
Input(s)
MW: Mud Weight (ppg)
\(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{n}}\): Jet Velocity \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
Q: Flowrate \((\mathrm{gpm})\)
Output(s)
IF: Impact Force (lb)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{IF}=(\mathrm{MW}) *\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{n}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{Q}}{1930}
\]
