Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing
p is inversely proportional to the pipe diameter. This means that as the diameter increases, the pressure drop decreases. The constant of proportionality is the friction factor. This concept behind pipe hydraulics is brought up very well in this course. The friction factor for turbulent flow is different from laminar flow. The former is a function of the Reynolds number and … [Read more...] about Single-Phase Pipe Hydraulics and Pipe Sizing
