    Hey Daniel,
    Is it possible to design a valve with outlet pressure less than (p1)/2 with current calculation method? I would require it for designing a throttle valve in one the simulations running in dynamic mode.
    The current calculation procedure accounts for only outlet pressure greater than (p1)/2.
    Thank you.

    Hi Rajat,

    Unfortunately not. Do you believe that there is a huge difference? I have no idea.

    Hi Daniel,
    The new lines of code in above link seems perfect to me but they were for the case of given outlet pressure. Also, i saw the changes done in code for calculation of outlet pressure given Kv (updated line 448 in above link). Though i am not aware of the syntax of VBA, i think that MathOps.Quadratic.quadForm function will return a 2x1 matrix consisiting of both the roots of which, we should select the value which gives (p1-p2)<(p1)/2. However, this would cause the selection of only one root of pressure. Also, according to the equations given in the reference link (https://www.samsongroup.com/document/t00050en.pdf), we cannot evaluate p2<(p1)/2 from Kv since the value of Kv is constant for given p1 for the case p2<(p1)/2.
    Therefore in order to solve the problem, i think the dynamic simulation functionlaity should be made valid for the case of specifying outlet pressure. However, the feasibility is upto you since i am not aware of the code written for dynamic simulation.
    Thank you.

    The only possibility of using the subcritical equation is when both pressures are specified... in steady state that's not possible because we don't know P2 a priori.

    As for the two roots issue, I'll fix that!

    Regards
    Daniel
