pressure signals are strong, and that two perpendicular walls exist, onwhich the pressure can act.ConclusionIt follows that the momentum theory does not convincingly explain the origin of the flow forcein a hydraulic valve. The question arises how to deal with the discrepancy. Does it exist only in ahydraulic valve, or in other flow cases, too? With a better understanding of how the reactionforces are created, it would be easier to make better designs.Bibliography1. Guillon, M. Hydraulic Servo Systems - Analysis and Design.
