How the calculator uses this mixer

Water temperature. Pandough uses the typical friction factor for its type, 12. To reach 24°C dough in a 22°C kitchen, the calculator asks for water at 16°C, against 25°C when mixing by hand.
Batch size check. Its maker publishes no dough capacity, so there is no batch limit to check.
