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 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
