Answer: A- 16/Re
The coefficient of friction of a laminar flow is 16/Re
Solution:
The value of the coefficient of friction within a smooth pipe depends on the Reynolds number and flow type. For laminar flow, the coefficient of friction depends only on the Reynolds number, and the value is 16/Re.
Where,
- Friction factor = Re/64
- Re is Reynolds number
