Darcy friction factor formulae. In fluid dynamics, the Darcy friction factor formulae are equations that allow the calculation of the Darcy friction factor, a dimensionless quantity used in the Darcy–Weisbach equation, for the description of friction losses in pipe flow as well as open-channel flow. The Darcy friction factor is also known as ...
μ is the dynamic viscosity of the fluid (Pa·s = N·s/m 2 = kg/(m·s)); Q is the volumetric flow rate, used here to measure flow instead of mean velocity according to Q = π / 4 D c 2 <v> (m 3 /s). Note that this laminar form of Darcy–Weisbach is equivalent to the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, which is analytically derived from the ...
Figure 1 Hard wheel rolling on and deforming a soft surface, resulting in the reaction force R from the surface having a component that opposes the motion. (W is some vertical load on the axle, F is some towing force applied to the axle, r is the wheel radius, and both friction with the ground and friction at the axle are assumed to be negligible and so are not shown.
g is the gravitational acceleration [m/s 2] Requiring the force balance F d = F e and solving for the velocity v gives the terminal velocity v s. Note that since the excess force increases as R 3 and Stokes' drag increases as R, the terminal velocity increases as R 2 and thus varies greatly with particle
Contents. Moody chart. In engineering, the Moody chart or Moody diagram (also Stanton diagram) is a graph in non-dimensional form that relates the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor fD, Reynolds number Re, and surface roughness for fully developed flow in a circular pipe. It can be used to predict pressure drop or flow rate down such a pipe.
Hazen–Williams equation. The Hazen–Williams equation is an empirical relationship which relates the flow of water in a pipe with the physical properties of the pipe and the pressure drop caused by friction. It is used in the design of water pipe systems [1] such as fire sprinkler systems, [2] water supply networks, and irrigation systems.
[1] [7] [9] They determined that the velocity's slope dependence in Chézy's formula (V:S 0) was reasonable, but that the velocity's dependence on the hydraulic radius (V:R h 1/2) was not reasonable and that the relationship was closer to (V:R h 2/3). [1] [7] [9] Many formulas based on Chézy's formula have been developed since its discovery by ...
The capstan equation[ 1 ] or belt friction equation, also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula[ 2 ] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein), [ 3 ] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a flexible line is wound around a cylinder (a bollard, a winch or a capstan). [ 4 ][ 1 ] It also applies for fractions of one turn as occur with ...
