Fundamentals and Analysis of Gas Pipeline Hydraulics- Example Friction Factor Calculation

Determining Friction Factor in Gas Pipelines Using the Colebrook-White and Jain Equations

A step-by-step demonstration of how to calculate the friction factor for a gas transmission pipeline using the Colebrook-White equation and compares it with the Jain equation. The example involves a 12-inch gas pipeline with given parameters like fluid velocity, pipe roughness, and Reynolds number. The video illustrates the iterative process of using the Colebrook-White equation to achieve convergence on the friction factor and highlights the efficiency of the non-iterative Jain equation as an alternative. This content is crucial for pipeline engineers and students seeking to understand friction factor calculations in fluid dynamics, particularly within gas transmission systems.
