Thrust from open gas line?
Thrust from open gas line?
Assume the pressure in a 3/4 inch natural pipe line (.824 I.D.) remains constant at 150 psig.; what is the thrust/force created as the gas exits the 3/4 inch open line?
Re: Thrust from open gas line?
It is density x velocity^2 x area
Pipe flow calculations - since 2000
Re: Thrust from open gas line?
that should be the product of dynamic pressure and the area of the Pipe;
Force = (1/2 x Density x velocity^2) x (0.7854 x dia^2)
Force = (1/2 x Density x velocity^2) x (0.7854 x dia^2)
