Force on a plate (momentum question)
(OP)
How do I calculate the force on a stationary plate that is impacted by a fluid at a mass flow rate of 20 tons/min and velocity of 60ft/s?

RE: Force on a plate (momentum question)
For example: If the flow strikes the plate and turns 90 degrees, then the change in velocity is your 60 ft/sec, if it turns 180 degrees, then the change in velocity is 2 X the initial velocity.
The equation is dimensionally consistent in any rational system of units. If the units in the solution do not come out as a force, then your units are incorrect.

Wouldnt' be homework would it?
KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?
What is Engineering anyway: FAQ1088-1484: In layman terms, what is "engineering"?
