\( v_1 \) = initial cross-section velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
\( A_1 \) = initial area cross-section | \(in^2\) | \(mm^2\) |
\( A_2 \) = final area cross-section | \(in^2\) | \(mm^2\) |
\( \rho_2 \) (Greek symbol rho) = final cross-section density | \(lbm\;/\;ft^3\) | \(kg\;/\;m^3\) |
\( \rho_1 \) (Greek symbol rho) = initial cross-section density | \(lbm\;/\;ft^3\) | \(kg\;/\;m^3\) |
\( v_2 \) = final cross-section velocity | \(ft\;/\;sec\) | \(m\;/\;s\) |
