Fanning's friction factor (turbulent flow)

Input(s)

D: Diameter (ft)(\mathrm{ft})

v: Velocity of Fluid ( ft/s)\mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})

ρ\rho: Density of Fluid (g/cc)(\mathrm{g} / \mathrm{cc})

μ\mu: Visocosity of Fluid (cP)(\mathrm{cP})

Output(s)

f: Friction Factor (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

f=0.0791μ0.25(Dvρ)0.25\mathrm{f}=\frac{0.0791 * \mu^{0.25}}{(\mathrm{D} * \mathrm{v} * \rho)^{0.25}}
