How to Calculate Local skin friction coefficient?
Local skin friction coefficient calculator uses Local Skin-Friction Coefficient = (2*Local Heat Transfer Coefficient)/(Density of Fluid*Specific Heat Capacity*Free Stream Velocity) to calculate the Local Skin-Friction Coefficient, The local skin friction coefficient formula calculates the skin friction coefficient at a point that is at some distance from the leading edge of the flat plate using the Reynolds analogy. Local Skin-Friction Coefficient is denoted by Cf symbol.
How to calculate Local skin friction coefficient using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Local skin friction coefficient, enter Local Heat Transfer Coefficient (hx), Density of Fluid (ρfluid), Specific Heat Capacity (c) & Free Stream Velocity (u∞) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Local skin friction coefficient calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.002787 = (2*500)/(1.225*4184*70).
