A new equation for accurate approximation of the Moody friction factor in the general gas-flow equation better approximates a wide range of Reynolds numbers than previously published equations. Other, ...

Accurate prediction of pressure loss in turbulent pipe flow is essential to the design and operation of pipelines across water, oil and gas, and industrial processing systems. Central to this task is ...

Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...
