What is Friction Factor?

The friction factor is a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics to quantify the resistance to flow within a pipe or duct due to friction. It plays a critical role in calculating pressure drop and flow rate in fluid systems. The friction factor depends on several factors, including the flow regime (laminar or turbulent), the Reynolds number, and the roughness of the pipe's interior surface.
