Abstract

First, a numerical algorithm for the friction factor in the Darcy-Weisbach pipe friction head loss formula is developed by an effective linear iteration scheme of the Colebrook-White equation, which precisely determines, with a small load of computations, the friction factor within the ranges of: 0 < relative roughness <0.1 and 2 x 10(3)
