  1. For a fully developed flow of water in a pipe having diameter 10 cm, velocity 0.1 m/s and kinematic viscosity 10–5 m2/s, the value of Darcy friction factor is ________.
    1. 0.364
    2. 0.264
    3. 0.064
    4. 0.164
Correct Option: C

Given, D = 10 cm = 0.1 m
V = 0.1 m/s
v = 10–5 m2 /s

Re =
