    Calculation of boundary layer thickness

    Hello All, I would like to know how to calculate the boundary layer thickness for a flow through pipes (internal flow). I can find a lot of information of boundary layer thickness for flow over flat plate, but not for internal flow. Any help is appreciated Thanks

    Calculating pressure drop from drag

    Hi, I am interested in calculating the pressure drop across rectangular cylinder. I know the coefficient of drag of the cylinder from the Cd vs Re plot and the drag force across the cylinder is given by Fd = Cd * 0.5 * rho * V^2 * frontal area. How do i calculate the pressure drop from the...

    Heat transfer in pipes

    Hi, I have a question in calculating Nusselt and friction factor for flow in pipes. The flow in a pipe could be hydrodynamically developing, hydrodynamically fully developed, thermally developing and simultaneously developing and these four scenarios can occur for laminar and turbulent flow...

    Choked Flow in valve

    Hi, I would like to know if choked flow can occur in a valve even if the velocity of air passing through the valve has not reached Mach 1. Also how will I determine is the flow is choked or not, given I know the upstream and downstream pressures. Thank you

    Thermodynamic properties calculation

    Hi, I would like to know what equations are used to calculate thermodynamic properties like enthalpy, Cp, entropy at a given temperature and pressure. I know i can use standard tables for these values, but I am curious as to how these are calculated. I am looking for equations in which i can...
