The friction in flows through the pipe is defined by a dimensionless number called the fanning friction factor (f). The Fanning friction factor is represented by another dimensionless number, the Reynolds number (Re).It depends on the diameter of the pipe and some parameters related to the fluid. An equation that can predict f given the Reynolds number is given as follows. If Re =4000, e/D=0.01 in this equation, find the value of f using the Simple Iteration method by taking f0=0.1 as the initial value for the solution (ԑ=0.0001)
