  2. Darcy friction factor formulae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy_friction_factor_formulae

    Before choosing a formula it is worth knowing that in the paper on the Moody chart, Moody stated the accuracy is about ±5% for smooth pipes and ±10% for rough pipes. If more than one formula is applicable in the flow regime under consideration, the choice of formula may be influenced by one or more of the following:

  3. Construction estimating software - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_estimating...

    Estimating Software Block Diagram. As cost estimators came to rely heavily on spreadsheets, and the formulas within the spreadsheets became more complex, spreadsheet errors became more frequent. [4] These were typically formula errors and cell-reference errors which would often lead to cost overruns.

  4. Basis of estimate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basis_of_estimate

    A pivot table in BOEMax, a Basis of Estimate software package. To create a BOE companies, throughout the past few decades, have used spreadsheet programs and skilled cost analysts to enter thousands of lines of data and create complex algorithms to calculate the costs. These positions require a high level of skill to ensure accuracy and ...

  5. Glossary of construction cost estimating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_construction...

    A Allocation of costs is the transfer of costs from one cost item to one or more other cost items. Allowance - a value in an estimate to cover the cost of known but not yet fully defined work. As-sold estimate - the estimate which matches the agreed items and price for the project scope. B Basis of estimate (BOE) - a document which describes the scope basis, pricing basis, methods ...

  6. Duct (industrial exhaust) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(industrial_exhaust)

    Sizing of the ductwork; Calculation of resistance; Finalizing the capacity of blower, etc. [4] The goal is to keep contaminants out using minimum airflow. It is estimated that increase in an inch wg [clarification needed] of static pressure can add a few thousands of dollars to the operation cost per annum.

  7. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    Most charts or tables indicate the type of friction factor, or at least provide the formula for the friction factor with laminar flow. If the formula for laminar flow is f = ⁠ 16 / Re ⁠, it is the Fanning factor f, and if the formula for laminar flow is f D = ⁠ 64 / Re ⁠, it is the Darcy–Weisbach factor f D.

  8. COCOMO - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COCOMO

    In 1995 COCOMO II was developed and finally published in 2000 in the book Software Cost Estimation with COCOMO II. [3] COCOMO II is the successor of COCOMO 81 and is claimed to be better suited for estimating modern software development projects; providing support for more recent software development processes and was tuned using a larger ...

  9. Cost estimation models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_estimation_models

    The model then provides as output various resources requirements in cost and time. Some models concentrate only on estimating project costs (often a single monetary value). Little attention has been given to the development of models for estimating the amount of resources needed for the different elements that comprise a project. [1]
