Group 1: Automated calculation of volume shares for a specified target viscosity

Based on the current calculater provided by Partridge, we created a Python script to use the calculator within an optimization loop. We used the math from the website and not the Matlab or Python scripts provided on the website since these are not necessarily updated.

The optimization loop based on a simple approximation, not on a fully reliable optimization scheme. However, since the calculation task is not computationally expensive, you will get a result within seconds.

Furthermore, we have neglected the volume of the particles since we calculated it to 2.7876 * 10^(-8) ml, which is negligible given the total volume of the solution.

Our tests have shown that is works when you specify a initial volume of the water within 0.1ml to 0.9ml.
