INPUT
Relative Roughness = 0.0000000
Reynolds Number = 1,000,000
Serghide's implementation of Steffenson 0.0197511 0.999983 -0.002978% Smooth Pipe w/ Reynolds# of ~170,000
UDF "fSerg" #VALUE! #VALUE! #VALUE!
Zigrang and Sylvester 0.0197293 0.999363 -0.113527% Smooth Pipe w/ Reynolds# of ~64,500
% Deviation to Eq 2 = -0.221983%
Swamee and Jain Eq 0.0196191 0.996228 -0.671401% 10^-6 <e/D <10^-2 and 5000 < Reynolds# < 10^8
Swamee and Jain has stated limits of 10^-6 <e/D < .01 and 5000 < Reynolds# < 3x10^8
Altshul-Tsal Eq
f ' = 0.11(12e/D + 68/Re)^.25 = 0.0198212
0.85*f ' + 0.0028 = 0.0196480
Selected f based on 0.018: 0.0198212
Error to fCalc: 0.352%
Note: Units for "D" are normally in inches but formula in C56 is modified for consistence with RelRoughness in C3
I have not found any stated limits for Altshul-Tsal but large errors are found at high e/D's
Colebrook Equation Solution Comparisons Determine if Input Point is in the Laminar Flow, Critical Zone,
INPUT Transition Zone or Comp Turbulence, Rough Pipes Zone*
Relative Roughness = 0.0000000 e/D * R * f^.5 = #VALUE! #VALUE!
Reynolds Number = 100,000 * Terminlogy is from the original Moody Diagram
