Force Jet Pump Thrust Thrust force

AI Thread Summary

To calculate the thrust force of a jet pump, key factors include the diameter of the pipe and the velocity of the fluid. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the setup of the jet pump for accurate calculations. A formula for thrust force is not explicitly provided, but the contributors suggest that fluid dynamics principles similar to those used in jetovators may apply. Clarifying the setup and operational parameters is crucial for precise calculations. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for specific measurements and a clear understanding of the system design.

hi everyone

In order to calculate the thrust force of a jet pump , what must I know and what is the formula used?

thanks :)

Thrust where? How does the setup look at all?
My guess: Diameter of a pipe and velocity of the fluid inside.

the same as the one in the jetovator

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks

Thread 'Linear generator prototype'

i want to just test a linear generator with galvanometer , the magnet is N28 and the wire (Cu) is of 0.6mm thikness and 10m long , but galvanometer dont show anthing , The core is PLA material (3d printed) The magnet size if 28mm * 10mm * 5mm

Thread 'Fundamental Probability'

If the universe is fundamentally probabilistic, and all possible outcomes are realized in some branch of the multiverse, does that invalidate the concept of scientific inquiry? If knowledge is merely a description of one particular branch of reality, does it have any inherent value?
