Verification Case 5

View Model     Problem Statement

PRODUCT: AFT Fathom

TITLE: FthVerify5.fth

REFERENCE: D.S. Miller, Internal Flow Systems, 2nd Ed., 1990, Gulf Publishing Co., Page 199-200

FLUID: Water

ASSUMPTIONS: N/A

RESULTS:

Parameter	Miller	AFT Fathom
Flow rate (m3/sec) x 1000	4.68	4.674

DISCUSSION:

The K factor of 6.5 is entered in pipe 1 as a fitting and loss value.

The answer differs slightly because Miller reads the friction factor (0.0179) off of a chart, whereas AFT Fathom uses a roughness of zero to obtain the friction factor (0.01784).
