This excel is written to solve the flow within the Gilkes GT 106 Thermo Fluid Tutor. The EXCEL program will calculate mass
reverence values for the height differences, atmospheric temperature and pressure.

Assuptions
Laminar flow over the measuring instruments
The flow is non compressible

The orifice plate has no heigth difference.

The orifice mass flow will be the reference
The temparature and pressure stays constant in test.
