I'm doing a project on flow rates in a pipe system using the hazen williams formula, does anyone know of a spread sheet or computer software that does this.

I have been told that it is possible doing it in Microsoft Excel, does any know?

Just plug the formula in with the given parameters. Not much else to it.
