      Hi Sir,

      Can anyone please tell me the friction factor formula for 2D channel flow? TIA


      Thank you,

      Abubakar

      For laminar flow (Re<2000), friction coefficient lambda=64/Re. For turbulent flow (Re>400), there are many correlations available. Wikipedia gives a decent recopilation of all of them:

      In the book, it's showing the difference. PFA
