Information
This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
This model defines only the quadratic turbulent regime of wall friction: dp = k*m_flow*|m_flow|, where "k" depends on density and the roughness of the pipe and is not a function of the Reynolds number. This relationship is only valid for large Reynolds numbers. The turbulent pressure loss correlation might be useful to optimize models that are only facing turbulent flow.
