Yes, only the file description was changed.  The forum discussion URL that was included in the description was in error and has been corrected to the right address.  No changes to the file itself were made on June 24, 2013.

Thanks for this useful spreadsheet upload!

 

I have a question regarding horizontal storage tank that is located inside the building. When I set ambient temperature +5*C I got errors with values in row F118:F128.

I suppose that I need to change the formula for ΔT as absolute value of subtraction for calculation of Nusselt Number?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Mladjan.
