Friction Factors

"The friction factor is sometimes expressed in terms of the Fanning friction factor, which is one-fourth of the Moody friction factor. In some references the Moody friction factor is used, in others, the Fanning friction factor is used. Care must be exercised to avoid inadvertent use of the wrong friction factor."  [1]

Vapor Pressure Using Antoine's Equation

The Antoine equation for vapor pressure as a function of temperature is:

log10 P = A – B/(T + C) (1)


where P = vapor pressure, mm Hg
A, B, and C = Antoine coefficients
T = temperature, C

The links below provide access to tables and interactive graphs based on this equation for many compounds. All are provided through Knovel. You may search for this and related property information using the Knovel link on this page.
