Jet velocity - Nozzle hydraulic analysis

Input(s)

Q: Flow Rate (GPM)

F: Jet Size (1) (in.)

C: Jet Size (2) (in.)

B: Jet Size (3) (in.)

Output(s)

$\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{c}}$: Jet Velocity $(\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{417.2 * \mathrm{Q}}{\mathrm{F}^{2}+\mathrm{C}^{2}+\mathrm{B}^{2}} $$
