Which of the following is dimensionless ?
Correct answer: B. Fanning friction factor
- A. Angular velocity
- B. Fanning friction factor
- C. Specific volume
- D. None of these
Explanation
The Fanning friction factor is a ratio of wall shear stress to dynamic pressure, so its units cancel. Angular velocity has units of inverse time, while specific volume has units of volume per mass.
