Hmmm, not quite.

A = ðr²

You can have the OD of the jet tube be as large as the orifice area of the cup - the OD of the jet tube being equal to the orifice area of the inner diameter of the jet tube

So if the cup was 6.35mm OD (1/4") and the jet tube had a 3.175mm ID (1/8"), then the OD of the tube tube may be as large as:

3.175² - x² = 1.5875²

x = 2.75

Now x is the radius, so the OD of the jet tube may be as large as 5.5mm, (or ~7/32" converting everything back to imperial)
