Hydraulics Calculation Guide

The document provides parameters and calculations for hydraulics during drilling. There are 6 nozzles each with a flow area of 0.2 in^2 that distribute a total flow rate of 528.34 gal/min. This results in a jet velocity of 143.87 ft/sec and a pressure drop of 154.6 PSI across each nozzle. The total hydraulic horsepower required is calculated to be 47.65 HP.
