A smooth pipe of diameter 0.4m carries water at a velocity of 0,2m/sec. If the friction factor is a function of Reynolds number only, its magnitude (in decimal, correct upto two decimal place) is ______.(Kinetic viscosity of water =106m2/sec)
0.017

Solution
The correct option is A 0.017 Given, d=0.4m, v=0.2m/sec, u=10−6m2/sec
Reynolds no.Re=vdν=0.4×0.210−6=80000
Since 4000<Re<105 ∴ Friction factor, f=0.316(Re)1/4 =0.316(80000)1/4 =0.0188
