Verification Case 40

View Model     Problem Statement

PRODUCT: AFT Fathom

TITLE: FthVerify40.fth

REFERENCE: Robert W. Fox and Alan T. McDonald, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 3rd Ed., 1985, John Wiley & Sons, Page 376-377, example 8.7

FLUID: Water at 68 deg. F

ASSUMPTIONS: N/A

RESULTS:

Parameter	Fox & McDonald	AFT Fathom
Flow rate (gpm)	350	351.8

DISCUSSION:

There is a slight difference in flow rates because Fox & McDonald use a chart for friction factor, which is less precise than AFT Fathom's correlation based method.
