Features
Korf Hydraulics is based on a novel method for solving hydraulic problems. It regards all flow rates and equipment inlet and outlet pressures as unknowns or variables. The user only need to specify sufficient pressures, flows, Cv's, etc. to enable the program to calculate the unknown pressures and flows (amazing isn't it?). Any valid combination of specifications may be used. As far as we are aware, Korf is the only program with this flexibility.
