bobo 5195's Water cooling Approximator

[bobo5195]

This is my version of a watercooling loop flow approximator using Excel. It calculates the loop flow for single and split loops using a numerical solver like you might find in CFD packages like that used to design Aeroplanes. The software works with Microsoft Excel. It currently does not work with open office due to a know bug that the devs are working on. The software is BETA at this time

It is an upgraded version written from scratch used by Martinm210. It only uses the database of results he created the UI and solving techniques are completely different. Thanks very much for those results martin. My home is that in the future it can solve any type of loop layout you may want and solve what kind of temps you can expect to get. See here for a link to his spreadsheet. Results should be comparable.

The program is use at your own risks and will never be 100% due to differences between loops. However it should give you a good guide of the effects of adding more pumps etc.

The following are known bugs

• GUI is a bit tempremental and needs some tweaks
• Need to add Splitter restriction data
• Tweaking of the solver to produce stable results
• Error handling of extreme cases e.g. negative flow rates

Having trouble with the zip file, can you try to upload one more time?
Thanks!
