Question

Water flows inside a smooth circular thin-walled tube of diameter D = 25 mm at a mass flow rate of 50 g/s. Outside of the tube, air moves in cross flow over the tube at a velocity of V = 20 m/s and a temperature of T[infinity] = 10°C. If the mean temperature of the water is Tm = 50°C, determine (a) The Darcy friction factor for the water flow inside the tube

Answer 1

See explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that that the The Darcy Friction factor or Equation is a theoretical equation that predicts the frictional energy loss in a pipe based on the velocity of the fluid and the resistance due to friction. It is used almost exclusively to calculate head loss due to friction in turbulent flow.
