The Fanning friction factor is represented by another dimensionless number, the Reynolds number (Re).It depends on the diameter of the pipe and some parameters related to the fluid. An equation that can predict f given the Reynolds number is given as follows. If Re =4000, e/D=0.01 in this equation, find the value of f using the Simple Iteration method by taking f0=0.1 as the initial value for the solution (ԑ=0.0001)arrow_forwardThe data given in the accompanying table represents the velocity distribution inside a pipe.

- . I am planning to perform some volume-flow rate measurements in the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory. For this, I need a volumetric measuring tank (graduated cylinder) and a stopwatch. I considered the volume of the measured tank as 15 gallons and a stopwatch with reaction time as 1/10th of a second (though resolution of 1/1000th of a second). What is the volume flow rate if it takes 5 minutes to fill a 15-gallon of tank? Determine the smallest division to be on the tank in order to estimate the volume flow rate within an accuracy of ± 0.05 gpm.arrow_forwardH .
