I am currently working on evaluating the optimal way to determine diameter using a mathcad code. The Entrance Tank Code is available through the SourceForge repository, a storage system. To access the code follow these folders: design repository -> Automated Design -> Design -> EntranceTank. The code does not come with references at the top of the code, in order to run the file you need to add the following references: User Inputs, Math Functions, Pipe Database, Minor Loss Coefficients, Fluids Functions, Design Assumptions. All the references are available in the same folder as the Entrance Tank Code.

Step 8: Calculate the diameter of the orifices for each row based on the area of the orifices calculated above.
Step 9: Create the height arrays. The H_flowloc is an array of the height at which the flow rate is calculated (this is equal to 1/2*the row spacing above the row being evaluated). H_orificeloc is an array of the heights at which orifices will be made. The ramp funtion called herer is available in the math functions file.
Step 10: This creates the array of target flow rates based on the heights given by the H_flowloc array and assuming a perfectly linear realtionship.
