    velocity criteria for PSV suction line

    No, there is just the "3%" rule, see API 520. 70% of sonic is way too high. Cheers, Joerd Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips.

    How to create a simulation model for isenthalpic (adiabatic) flash?

    Just use a valve operation. Your inlet stream is fully specified: composition, temperature, and pressure. The outlet stream pressure should be specified at the 90% value, the temperature will be calculated. The flow rate is not important, so just pick a number. Make sure you use a steam property...

    Transposing data from columns

    Text Formatting to the Result of a Formula

    Not that I know of. You may consider putting the =TEXT(A1,"0.0") in one cell, and x B2 in the cell just to the right of it. Then you can format B2 whichever way you want. Cheers, Joerd Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips.

    Can get carriage return to work

    You wrote a nice replacement for the Replace method. The short version is: strATextValue = Replace(strATextValue, vbLf, vbCr) Modify as needed, it's pretty flexible. Cheers, Joerd Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips.

    Can get carriage return to work

    In Word, a new line is entered using Selection.TypeParagraph. So you will have to split up the Excel cell value at vbLF (or chr(10), it's the same), and then use Selection.TypeText Text:="first part" Selection.TypeParagraph Selection.TypeText Text:="second part" So your code...

    Reference to multiple workbooks?

    You can set up a database query instead. Go to Data/Import External Data/New Database Query... and link to the spreadsheets. It helps if the source spreadsheets have range names defined for the exported data. Cheers, Joerd Please see FAQ731-376 for tips on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips.

    Problem with Files

    The spreadsheet is linked to a spreadsheet "Bearing .xls", which I don't have, but it tries to open it. So, if that links to several other files, and they automatically open, you get what you observe. Check the list of links under the Edit menu, option Links... Cheers, Joerd Please see...

    Solver clash with custom Excel function

    This is not an Excel / VBA issue, but a numerical issue. Your function is not continuous, but it will give the same answer for fractions of years. In order for Solver to determine the minimum, it will try to determine the gradient at a certain value of the independent variable (time, in your...
