Fanning's coefficient of friction f = 16/Re.

Darcy's friction factor f = 64/Re.

For viscous flow =16/Re.

The Darcy friction factor f for laminar flow in a circular pipe (Reynolds number less than 2320) is given by the formula.

f = 64/Re.

Shubham said:   9 years ago
f is coefficient of friction while F is friction factor.
4f = F.

So, it can be both but first f must be specified in many books both friction factor and frictional coefficient are denoted same as 'f'.

Friction factor = 4 * friction coefficient.

1st the question should be coefficient of friction instead of loss of head.

W.k.t Darcy's Weinberg equation (i.e).

(4flv^2)/2gd,
Where, F=4f ; f- coefficient of friction.
(i.e)The friction factor is F = 64/Re,

Then coeff of friction 4f= 64/Re.
we get f=16/R6.

Thanks @Bks.

It's the darcy's Coeff of friction.

For viscous-16/Re.
Turbulent-0.0791/Re.

Fanning friction factor for tube flow:.

This friction factor is one-fourth of the Darcy friction factor, so attention must be paid to note which one of these is meant in the "friction factor" chart or equation consulted of the two, the Fanning friction factor is the more commonly used by chemical engineers and those following the British convention.

If F= friction factor then F=64/Re.
but friction factor = 4* coefficient of friction,
So, if f= coe. of friction then f=16\Re,
Above is for laminar flow.
