HP 32SII: Some Algorithms For RPN Calculators

HP 32SII:  Some Algorithms For RPN Calculators

Four programs ported to the HP 32SII calculator from algorithms designated for the 1973 HP 45 calculator.  

HP 32SII: Euclid Algorithm - Greatest Common Divisor (GCD)

The HP 45 algorithm is found on page 228 in the Algorithms For RPN Calculators book. (see source below)

This algorithm takes up three labels.

HP 32SII:  GCD Using One Label - John Kenney 

The program was provided by Ross Barnes, and the algorithm is from the book ENTER by J. Daniel Dodlin and Keith Jarrett (ISBN 0-9615174-2-1, pg. 84).  This is smart, one label program.

Enter both numbers in the stack before running the program.

HP 32SII:  Tetens Equation

The HP 45 algorithm is found on page 290 in the Algorithms For RPN Calculators book.    The original algorithm took the temperature in Celsius. 

Find the saturation of water vapor (e_m) in mmHg (millimeters of Mercury) given the temperature in °F.

Determined Formulas:

T (in °C) = (T°F - 32) * 5/9

α = T/(236.87 + T)

e_m = 4.579 * 10^(7.49 * α)

T01 LBL T

T02 INPUT T

T03 →°C

T04 ENTER

T05 ENTER

T06 236.87

Size and Checksum:

45.0 bytes, 404A

Examples:

T = 68 °F, Result: 17.53658 mmHg

T = 99 °F, Result:  47.63501 mmHg

HP 32SII:  Dew Point Given Relative Humidity and Air Temperature

The HP 45 algorithm is found on page 290 in the Algorithms For RPN Calculators book.    The original algorithm took the temperature in Celsius. 

Relativity humidity (F) is to be entered as a decimal.  For instance, instead of 20%, enter 0.20.

Determined Formulas:

T (in °C) = (T°F - 32) * 5/9

A = T/(T + 236.87)

B = 1/(log F/7.49 + A)

TD = 236.87/(B - 1)

TD = TD * 9/5 + 32

Examples:

T = 80, F = 0.64, Result:  66.725

T = 95, F = 0.32, Result:  60.50684

HP 32SII:  Effective Temperature Due to Wind Velocity

The HP 45 algorithm is found on page 291 in the Algorithms For RPN Calculators book.    The original algorithm took the temperature in Fahrenheit. 

Wind velocity is in miles per hour (mph).  

Determined Formulas:

A = 0.634*(0.634 - log V)

ΔT = A*(T - 90)

Effective T = T - ΔT
