Evaluations of loss coefficient and entrance length in the inlet region of a channel are presented. Correlations and numerical values of these quantities are provided for Reynolds number ranging from 0.01 to 2200. The results provide an accurate benchmark for engineering design.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
