Nozzle Selection

This document contains a nozzle selection application for drilling operations. It requests input of flow rate, pump pressure, and mud weight data to calculate optimum nozzle size based on maximum jet impact force and hydraulic horsepower. The application was created in 1992 and last updated in 1994 to help size nozzles for subsequent drilling runs.
