Fluid-Thermal System Analysis Spreadsheet

This document appears to be an engineering spreadsheet that models fluid flow through a piping system using the Hardy Cross method. It contains input parameters for 7 pipes in the system including diameter, length, roughness, and calculates outputs like flow rate, Reynolds number, friction factor, and pressure changes over 5 iterations. The spreadsheet checks for continuity at each node and the results converge to a steady state solution meeting the continuity criteria.
