Variables Used
Specific Gravity of Sediment - Specific Gravity of Sediment is the ratio of sediment particle density to the density of water, indicating its heaviness.
Self Cleansing Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Self Cleansing Velocity refers to the minimum speed at which fluid must flow in a sewer to prevent sediment deposition and maintain a clear path.
Dimensional Constant - Dimensional Constant indicates important characteristics of sediments present in the sewage. Its value usually varies from 0.04 (start of scouring of clean grit) to 0.08 (full removal of sticky grit).
Diameter of Particle - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Particle is the straight-line distance across its widest point, typically measured in micrometers or millimeters.
Friction Factor - The Friction Factor quantifies resistance to flow in a pipe due to surface roughness, impacting energy loss and velocity.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Self Cleansing Velocity: 0.114 Meter per Second --> 0.114 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Dimensional Constant: 0.04 --> No Conversion Required
Diameter of Particle: 4.8 Millimeter --> 0.0048 Meter (Check conversion ​here)

What is friction factor ?

The friction factor is a dimensionless number that quantifies the resistance to flow within a pipe or channel due to surface roughness and fluid viscosity. It's crucial in calculating head loss and energy dissipation in fluid systems, influencing flow efficiency. The friction factor is typically determined using the Darcy-Weisbach equation or empirical correlations like the Moody chart, depending on flow conditions such as Reynolds number and relative roughness.
