This app solves Colebrook's formula for determining head loss in a pipe

You are now following this Submission

The Colebrook–White equation, sometimes referred to simply as the Colebrook equation is a relationship between the friction factor and the Reynolds number, pipe roughness, and inside diameter of pipe. The Colebrook formula is valid for turbulent flows in pipes. This formula is non linear equation. The current app solve this equation numerically using an iterative method. The user must specify both the Reynolds number and the relative roughness of the pipe (i.e. roughness divided by hydraulic diameter). The app solve the friction factor (f) for the given flow.
