Tests of a proposed friction-factor equation have shown it to be accurate for calculating pressure loss in turbulent flow for a pipeline transporting a non-Newtonian fluid, such as most crude oils and ...

Measuring torque when installing threaded fasteners is the best indicator of future joint performance, right? Actually, bolt tension is a better performance indicator, but measuring torque is far ...

A new equation for accurate approximation of the Moody friction factor in the general gas-flow equation better approximates a wide range of Reynolds numbers than previously published equations. Other, ...

has long been used for calculating the friction factor, f, for incompressible and some compressible flows in uniform pipes, ducts, and conduits. It is asymptotic to both the accepted smooth-surface ...

Electrically tunable ionic hydrogels use small voltages to switch friction at metal contacts between high-friction and ...
