Now is there actually a pressure drop from , or is this configuration merely affecting the nozzle's performance, throwing off any calculations? If there is a pressure drop, is it calculable?

The easy answer is that "yes", the baseplate will have an effect at the velocities and gaps we operate within. The tough answer is determining the effect. There is no analytical solution, only simulations. Accurate testing is the best bet.
