Friction factor for creeping flow around a sphere

Input(s)

D: Diameter (ft)

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

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

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

Output(s)

f: Friction Factor (dimensionless)

Formula(s)

f=24μDvρ\mathrm{f}=\frac{24 * \mu}{\mathrm{D} * \mathrm{v} * \rho}
