This depends on the slips and other mechanical problems thatwill create a loss of energy between the runneri n t h e a n n u l a r a r e a b e t w e e nt h e n o z z l e a n d s p e a r , t h e a m o u n t o f w a t e r r e d u c e s a s t h e s p e a r i sp u s h e d f o r w a r d a n d v i c e-v e r s a.
