Instructions:

1. This excel file is applicable for Half-Open Pipe Nozzle.

2. Input your data (Yellow Cells).
3. Change IDs (Blue Cells) and compare momentum criterion and velocity (Green Cells) with limitation
(Red Table).
4. Values for GCAP reference are based on 7th edition and general but in 9th edition is updated and are
different for devices.
