- 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)arrow_forwardA fixed amount of ideal gas is kept in a container of fixed volume.

If the change in current is proportional to the voltage, the data should be in a straight line and it should go through zero. In these two examples how close is the y-intercept to zero?

- Cardiologists use the short-range scaling exponent α1, which measures the randomness of heart rate patterns, as a tool to assess risk of heart attack. The article “Applying Fractal Analysis to Short Sets of Heart Rate Variability Data” compared values of α1 computed from long series of measurements (approximately 40,000 heartbeats) with those estimated from the first 300 beats to determine how well the long-term measurement (y) could be predicted the short-term one (x).
