Homework Statement


I need to find the Darcy Weibach friction factor from the moody diagram but i cannot find reynolds number?

All the information i have is K = 0.02mm D = 150mm Q=100 l/s

The only formula for RE i found is RE = (density) x (velocity) x (diameter of pipe) / (dynamic viscocity)

Im really stuck.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Ben

Physics news on Phys.org
Did the problem statement tell you what the fluid is (e.g oil, water)?
 
You may need to assume fully developed turbulent flow then. What is the pipe material (e.g. steel, PVC)?
