Guide to Calculating Friction Factor Using the Kolbrook-White and Jain Equations
Our SME walks you through a practical example of calculating the friction factor for a 12-inch product pipeline using the Moody chart, Kolbrook-White, and Jain equations. Learn how to determine relative roughness, compute the Reynolds number, and apply these values to obtain accurate friction factor results through iterative methods and direct calculations. This guide is essential for pipeline engineers seeking to enhance their skills in fluid dynamics, friction factor determination, and pipeline flow analysis.
