MANPIP

[Jerussi]

I am working today. Took a break and uploaded via wand and works like you describe it. I am getting good with the wand again. Entered all 24 rows without a single checksum error!

Now it is needed to solve for D sometimes. We'll know Q, the S we have and of course the N. We then need to solve for D. I think the old MANPIP program would solve for the exact diameter required (full flow) and provide that diameter (i.e. 14.2"), then I would use a 15 inch conc. pipe.

I have come accross two programs that might have some good code in them. One is the HP Pipe Slide Rule program from the Fluid Dynamics Solutions book. The other is a program I found at the HP Museum site titled Flow Comps. That program does rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, circular, and parabolic channels. It is very large and has over 500 lines. I am attaching them. In several posts. Maybe there are some good routines that can be incorporated easily by someone with your abilities.

Again, thank you very much for taking the time you have working on this. So far I have been amazed.
