The Wilhelm-Naide equations may be invoked from the Excel formula bar with the following function calls:
=mdSolLiq_Thickener_WilhelmNaide_UA(a as Double, b as Double, Cs as Double, Optional hHRatio as Double = 1, Optional n as Double = 1)
=mdSolLiq_Thickener_WilhelmNaide_Cs(a as Double, b as Double, Ua as Double, Optional hHRatio as Double = 1, Optional n as Double = 1)
Invoking the function with no arguments will print Help text associated with the model, including a link to this page.
