How to Calculate Friction Factor by Ergun?
Friction Factor by Ergun calculator uses Friction Factor = (Acceleration due to Gravity*Diameter(eff)*Head of Fluid*Void Fraction^3)/(Length of Packaged Bed*Superficial Velocity^2*(1-Void Fraction)) to calculate the Friction Factor, The Friction factor by Ergun formula is defined as the ratio of the absolute roughness ε of the pipe inside wall to the pipe inside diameter. Friction Factor is denoted by f symbol.
