How to Calculate the Force of Flowing Gaseous Oxygen?

In summary, the conversation discusses the calculation of force exerted by gaseous oxygen flowing through a tube with a restriction. The formula for calculating flow using the size and length of the restriction and pressure is mentioned. The formula for calculating force using density, flow volume, and delta velocity is also mentioned. The speaker is unsure of the correct units to use for pressure and n, and the final unit for flow. They are seeking clarification and assistance.

Hi guys, I am trying to calculate the force that gaseous oxygen would exert if it were to flow from a tube and come to a restriction in that tube.

I'm not sure if I am correct in my thinking, but so far, I think that the flow can be calculated by the size and length of the restriction, and then the pressure based on that flow

Pousielle's-->
Flow= (delta pressure * pi * r^4) / 8 * l * n

And from that flow you should be able to calculate the force

Force= density * flow volume * delta velocityNow, I'm thinking that this would work, but I'm not certain.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'm also just confused as to which units I should be using for pressure, n, and what units flow will end up as?
Thanks
