Verification Case 24
PRODUCT: AFT Fathom
TITLE: FthVerify24.fth
REFERENCE: Michael R. Lindeburg, P.E., Mechanical Engineering Review Manual, 7th Ed., Professional Publications, Page 3-19, 21, Example 3.19
FLUID: Water
ASSUMPTIONS: N/A
RESULTS:
Parameter | Lindenburg | AFT Fathom |
Head loss (feet) | 51.6 | 51.53 |
DISCUSSION:
All input was provided explicitly by the problem statement.
Lindeburg pulls the friction factor directly from the Moody chart, while AFT Fathom uses the Colebrook-White equation to iterate for friction factor. Both methods result in a friction factor of 0.0195 if the friction factor is rounded to 4 digits.
