Start by assuming a value of C,, sich as 0.34, and solve Eg. (4-7) for V,. “Then, using V,, solve for R.-‘Then, Eq, (4-6) may be solved for CIF the calculated value of C, equals the assumed value, the solution has been reached. I ac, then the procedure should be repeated using the calculated C,, af & now assumption, The original assumption of O.3 for C., was used becanse this is the limiting value for large Reynolds numbers. The iterative steps are shown below: Field Units 1. Start with 3. From Re, calculate C,, using 243 Co= Ret gets 4, Recalculate V, using some) 8) 5.
