Flow Rate (L/min) | Max Error % | Pi_LfomOrifice(the number of rows) | LFOM Design | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
100 | 0.398 | 20 | This design has the lowest error but the construction is difficult because there are excessive orifices to drill | |
100 | 0.545 | 10 | This has a higher error but is easier to construct | |
200 | 0.14 | 20 | This design has the lowest error but the construction is difficult because there are excessive orifices to drill | |

The Mathcad Entrance Tank Code was run for seven flow rates, three Pi_LfomOrifice values, and two initial values for the H.flowloc array. The excel spreadsheet with the original data is available here. 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.
