Fanning friction factor (laminar flow)
Input(s)
D: Diameter \((\mathrm{ft})\)
v: Velocity \((\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\)
\(\rho\): Density \((\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})\)
\(\mu\): Viscosity of Fluid \((\mathrm{cP})\)
Output(s)
f: Friction Factor (dimensionless)
Formula(s)
\[
\mathrm{f}=\frac{16 * \mu}{\mathrm{D} * \mathrm{v} * \rho}
\]
