A fluid flow through pipes and tubes has great application in many areas of engineering. The resistance to flow is parameterized by a dimensionless number called the friction factor (f). For turbulent flow, the Colebrook equation is applicable 0=f?1?+2.0log(3.7D??+Ref?2.51?) and Re=??VD? where ?= the roughness (m),D= diameter (m), and Re= the Reynolds number Determine the friction factor f for air flow through a smooth, thin tube. For this case, ?=1.23kg/m3,?=1.79×10?5N?s/m2,D=0.005m,V=40m/s and ?=0.0015mm. Note that friction factors range from about 0.008 to 0.08. a) Use the bisect function with 3 iterations b) Use the False position with 3 iterations c) Use the Newton-Raphson method with initial guess (x0?=0.008) and 3 iterations d) Use the Newton-Raphson method with initial guess (x0?=0.08) and 3 iterations
