SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving a fifth-order polynomial equation for the variable 'D' in hydraulics. It emphasizes the necessity of transforming the equation into polynomial form, specifically f(D) = 0, to facilitate the solution process. The recommended methods for solving this type of equation are graphical or numerical techniques, which are more effective than analytical methods for higher-order polynomials.

Looks like you've got a fifth order polynomial on your hands. Probably best to solve via graphical or numerical methods.

Why not start by wrestling it into polynomial form f(D) = 0? Don't be afraid to replace the clutter of other variables (which will have constant values for a given D) with new constants that you can define accordingly.
