Looking good, well done.

Have you found a way of adding the calculators to the wiki yet?  Could have a page of various calculators.

Here's another you could do ... http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_library/conebottom.xls

Quite like the idea of a page of calculators - or at least links to them.

For the volume ones I'd need some pretty pictures drawn Julian :)

Happy to do pretty pictures ... just let me know what you want.

On your pressure one, would it be more accurate to use the term "static head"?

So still no joy with embedding in a wiki page?

You could also a recoverable methanol calculator for WBD.  Chug published a chart, but a calculator may be useful too.

OK changed to static head.

Good idea on the WBD calculator.  Maybe also a dropout reprocessing calculator?

I think the cone calculator would be good, that could use pretty pictures and I'm sure we could make it easer to understand than the JTF one.

I've also got a "cylinder domes at both ends" calculator in spreadsheet form, from when I was looking at pressure vessels for reactors.

Might have the wrong end of the stick ... the one I flagged up calculates the dimensions of a steel sheet for rolling into a cone.

Sorry to be a pain but, I meant ... "Compare static head vs pump pressure"

You're a pain ;)  Changed it - how about now?

Well, I'm rather reluctant to say if I'm a pain, but to be absolutely accurate shouldn't it read "Static head" next to the result box. (Ducks, and waits for in-coming).

What about these pretty drawings?  Any ideas yet?
