Empirical Correlation for Friction Factor Tubes

08/12/2009 1:38 PM

Can any body tell me the empirical relation for friction factor of tubes for estimation of pressure drops in laminar,turbulent & transition zones?

empirical relation for friction factor

Thats data collected, you'll need more information, size of tubes,, type of surface, product (physical properties), volume.....that is very expensive information.

Try looking for the Darcy-Weisbach generalised pipe flow equation in Wikipedia.
