Option to set upper limit of laminarflow regime.

Turbulent flow equation is used tosolve friction factor for Reynoldsnumber above this limit. Else,laminar flow equation is used.

Your choice ofmeasurement units:

English or Metric.

Example (using 2K method) in IP units

Consider a 16-in (ID = 15.624-in) Sch 40S stainless steel system. The system contains 100 ft of pipe, 6 long-radius(R/D=1.5) 90

o elbows, 2 side-outlet tees, 2 gate valves (=0.9) and an exit into a tank. The fluid has dynamic

viscosity of 1 cP, density of 62.43 lb/ft, and the flow rate is 13.314 ft/s. What is the head loss through this system?
