    I would like to know details about the rice speed nozzles. I need a book or any paper to introduce it technically or provide a design procedure. Or if possible I need its exact technical drawings.

    While their nozzle itself seems pretty efficient the construction leaves some to be desired. They don't seem to hold up well. We installed two sets of 80" tripple rudder system thrust nozzles and they have already lost pins on the fish plate linkages after <1yr in operation. These nozzles also seem to be lightly built. But price wise they are hard to beat.
