What is Friction Factor?

The friction factor is a dimensionless number used in fluid mechanics to quantify the resistance to flow within a pipe or duct due to friction between the fluid and the pipe walls. It is crucial for calculating pressure drop and flow rate in fluid systems. The friction factor depends on the flow regime—laminar or turbulent—as well as the Reynolds number and the roughness of the pipe's interior surface.
