3.3.3 helical_white - White helical friction factor
f = helical_white(re, de)

Computes the White friction factor for helical pipes with a given dean number in range of 11.6≤ De≤ 2000  .

Arguments

re

Reynolds number Re  .

de

Dean number De  .

Returns Helical friction factor (Darcy definition) fH , dimensionless.

Possible Warnings

Helical-White friction only valid for 11.6 <= De <= 2000

The White helical pipe friction factor is only valid for a 11.6≤ De≤ 2000  .

Possible Errors

Helical-White unknwon amount of arguments

An unknown amount of arguments was specified.
