Dennis Kirks Engineering Calculations Download

Description:

The Dennis Kirk Engineering website - you can download Microsoft Excel spreadsheets covering a number of useful mechanical, fluid flow and gas compression calculations.

Stephen Argles 2007-04-24 03:02:05 I agree with Infojunkie65. The Heaviside function is named after Oliver Heaviside. It has nothing to do with weight.

Ruy Torres 2008-08-27 15:59:39 For the calculation of pumps, it seems the Calc only works for water since the vapor presure is for water. The calculation does not show any accesories menu to select Tee 90°, valves, and other stuf... It seems a very good Excel Calc but with a lot of limitations, specially when no fits nor valves are available to select in any menu.
