Friction factors for pipe flow

.
Trans. ASME, 66 (8): 671--677 (1944)

Abstract

The object of this paper is to furnish the engineerwith a simple means of estimating the friction factors to be used in computing the loss of head in clean new pipes and in closed conduits running full with steady flow. The modern developments in the application of theoretical hydrodynamics to the fluid-friction problem are impressive and scattered through an extensive literature. This paper is not intended as a critical survey ofthis wide field. For a concise review, Professor Bakhineteff's small book on the mechanics of fluid flow is an excellent reference. Prandtl and Tietjeris and Rouse have also made notable contributions to the subject. The author does not clabn to offer anything particularly new or original, his aim merely being to embody the now accepted conclusions in convenient form for engineering use.
