Fluid flow pressure drop problem
Thread Content
Newbie seeking help: When calculating the pressure drop due to fluid flow in a channel, according to the Fanning formula given in textbooks, ΔP = λl/d(ρu^2)/2. However, I have seen some examples where ΔP is given as 4λl/d(ρu^2)/2. What’s going on here?
The friction coefficient should be selected based on the Reynolds number range. Take a look at books on chemical engineering principles specifically.
