PRODUCT: AFT Fathom

TITLE: FthVerify51.fth

REFERENCE: William S. Janna, Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, 1983, PWS Publishers, Page 167-168, Example 5.4

FLUID: Benzene at 77 deg. F

ASSUMPTIONS: N/A

RESULTS:

Parameter	Janna	AFT Fathom
Flow rate (ft3/sec)	8.51	8.49

DISCUSSION:

Although Janna only performed one iteration for friction factor while AFT Fathom performed further iterations, the results were still very similar due to the small difference in calculated friction factors.

Note this model uses fluid properties from the AFT Standard fluid library. The AFT Standard fluid library was updated in AFT Fathom 12, thus the AFT Fathom results will be slightly different for this verification case when compared to previous versions of AFT Fathom.
