How To Use Linked List Theory

[TeKNoMaNiaCH]

I have a problem of district heating piping. My purpose is to define an algorithm to size the branched type piping according to the load (pipe has on it).

As you can estimate: the predecessor piping has the load of the successor piping/s. But the next problem is that the successor piping/s of the first predecessor piping has/have following pipings also..

So the nodes (start and end point of the piping) have to be linked together with Linked List Theory (according to my search in Google)..

But how? Would you please help me to find codes and/or explanation of the Linked List Theory for Macro of Excel?

Thank you.

Hi,

What is the application for this? ie what is the actual business and fluid in the pipes? It makes a difference to the approach.

Also is the pipeline a tree or a network or a ring?

In a tree a node will split a single pipe into two or more other pipes (or looking the other way will Join).

A netork can connect one or more inputs to one or more outputs and the direction of flows in a pipe can vary.

If I understand your question, linked list theory sounds a little exotic. See attached.

Thanks for the help.. It is the thing that I am looking for but I have to improve it and also increase my understanding at this subject.
