Screens_ND

 

 

The function Screens_ND(Re, porosity: f,j_H) returns the friction factor (f), and Colburn j factor (j_H) for a perfectly stacked array of woven screens.

 

Inputs:

Re - reynolds number defined as follows:

 

where,

 

porosity (p) - volume of interconnected voids/volume of the matrix [-]

 

Ouputs:

f - friction factor [-]

j_H - Colburn j factor defined as follows:

 

where,

 

 

Example:

porosity=0.78 [-]

Re=2000 [-]

call Screens_ND(Re,porosity: f,j_H)

 

Notes: This function is called by Screens to determine the friction factor and Colburn j factor.  The data is based on experimental result found in Kays and London (1984)
