  1. Simulation Software, by Wm.J. Garland, McMaster University, 1950-01-01. Doc type: Essay.
    Summary: Major endeavours such as a CANDU nuclear power plant involves extensive engineering calculations usually performed using large simulation tools.  However, to aid in conceptual BOE (back of envelope) evaluations and for education and training exercises, simplified and focused calculations are often done.  To aid students and working professional alike, a few such small tools (primarily spreadsheets) are linked below.  Go to Topics: Modelling to see the full list.

  5. Single Phase Friction Factors for MNR Thermalhydraulic Modelling, by Wm.J. Garland, McMaster University, 1999-02-23. Doc type: Other.
    Summary: This report documents a review of selected literature to determine the appropriate correlations to use for McMaster Nuclear Reactor safety analysis.  It was found that the standard Moody diagram (which is based on the transcendental Colebrook equation) is sufficiently accurate for pipe flow but problematic to program, whereas simple approximations do not account for pipe wall roughness.  Herein, a very simple function is offered that returns an accurate estimate of f as a function of Reynolds Number, Re, and relative roughness e/D in a non-iterative fashion.  In addition, a simple correction factor for channel flow is offered.
