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)

$$ \mathrm{IF}=(\mathrm{MW}) *\left(\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{n}}\right) * \frac{\mathrm{Q}}{1930} $$
