This Spreadsheet Calculates The Mass Flow or The Downstream Pressure For Isothermal and For Adiabatic Compressible Flow With Macros

This spreadsheet calculates mass flow and downstream pressure for compressible flow through pipes using either isothermal or adiabatic assumptions. It first calculates the maximum mass flow and minimum downstream pressure to check if the given values cause choking. The user then inputs a mass flow or downstream pressure and the spreadsheet uses macros to calculate the unknown parameter while checking if choking occurs. Sample calculations are shown for different mass flows and downstream pressures under isothermal and adiabatic conditions.

This spreadsheet calculates the mass flow or the downstream pressure for
isothermal and for adiabatic compressible flow with macros.
Firstly, calculate the maximum flow to get the minimum downstream pressure
for each case, before calculating any flow or any downstream pressure. Then
make sure that the input flow is less than the maximum flow or the
input downstream pressure is more than the minimum downstream pressure.
