Pressure Drop/ Flowrate Calculator
Input the data for the following (input only numbers):
(If the Darcy Friction factor is known, replace the value of 'e' with 'f num' where 'num' is the friction factor.)

  This field is for
K Losses
(minor losses) due to geometry. You can enter the value directly in the
  K value window or use the calculator to add up K values if there is more than one.
  Add up K values
K Value:
  If the Flow Rate (Q) is unknown but the pressure drop is, fill in this information:
  Total Pressure Drop (kPa)
Qstep
Qtol
kPa/m
  Be careful with these
  values, or the system
  may not converge.

the system is negative)
(This may make it more difficult to converge on Q)
