Mechanical Engineering

Develop the formula for friction factor ‘f’. Keeping in mind theRe# should always be in turbulent region. What value of D should beselected to get turbulent flow. Start the value from 0.01m try tofind the value of D to have the turbulent flow. Use Excel Solvertool and demonstrate how it can be used to calculate frictionfactor ‘f’ for a given Re# and relative roughness ?. The frictionfactor is desired for water flowing at 0.063 m3 /s through a castiron pipe with a diameter of 2.75m. Using Colebrook Formulacalculate friction factor. And compare it with f being taken fromMoody Diagram in your text book “Fluid Mechanics by Munson”
