Question: Objective: Design an algorithm to calculate wellbore hydraulics parameters including standpipe pressure, Equivalent Circulating Density ( ECD ) , Bit Pressure Drop, Horsepower per square

Objective:
Design an algorithm to calculate wellbore hydraulics parameters including standpipe pressure, Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD), Bit Pressure Drop, Horsepower per square inch (HSI), Jet Impact Force, and Optimum Nozzle Sizes based on given inputs such as mud properties, nozzle sizes, fluid flow rates, drill string components and sizes, and wellbore dimensions (casing and open hole).
Instructions:
Develop a detailed algorithm that takes into account the various inputs and calculates the required parameters for wellbore hydraulics.
Utilize relevant equations and formulas for each parameter calculation.
Ensure the algorithm is efficient and capable of handling different scenarios and input variations.
