Running the same mathcad file with different input value (mathcad15)

Question

Hi all,I am new here and a bit of a mathcad newbie. I taught myself how to use it by trial and error and googling which is probably not the best way to go about things.I have written a mathcad file which calculates the flowrate of gas through an orrifice by simply inputting 1 value which is the depth.This works fine as i can pick any depth i want and get the desired flowrate, however i would like the calculation to the give me the flowrate over a range of depths i.e 10,20,30,40....350 meters.I can use a single colum matrix with multiple rows however my calculation starts to trip up when it encounters the if statement for each of these values.The calculation works flawlessly if i input 1 depth, however for multiple depths it has this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciatedSimon

Thanks Andy for spotting that.I had ignored al calculation above 1)..Have changed parameter name from d to dp so it is not confused with the orifice diameter (ther was not problem with that, though) and attached some plots which may help to decide the correctness of he results.

We can't debug a picture, so pelase post the file.

It seems you should turn your calculations inti s function dependend on depth which you then call with a vector as parameter (and probably you should vectorize the function call).

For a quick hack it may help to vectorize the calculation of Q.
