DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/5136909· OSTI ID:5136909
The friction factor and Stanton number for flow past a roughened surface are determined by the parameters A and R(h/sup +/) of the universal law of friction and A/sub H/ and G(h/sup +/) of the universal law of heat transfer. The methods to be used for determination of these parameters for the particular roughness to be used in the Core Flow Test Loop (CFTL) are presented. Examples are given concerning the application of these methods to both transitional and fully rough flow using experimental results taken from the literature.
