Question
A quantity describing this phenomenon is estimated iteratively via the reciprocal of its square root with the Colebrook–White equation. A quantity describing this phenomenon appears on the vertical axis of a log–log plot that features a steep line to the left of many nearly parallel decreasing curves to show when that “factor” of this phenomenon equals 64 over the Reynolds number. This phenomenon drives head loss, which is calculated in the (*) Darcy–Weisbach equation. A form of drag named for this phenomenon is driven by turbulence against objects’ “skin.” A pipe’s roughness contributes to this phenomenon, causing energy loss during fluid flow. For 10 points, name this force that is reduced by lubricants. ■END■
ANSWER: friction [or friction force] (The first two sentences describe the Darcy friction factor. The plot in the second sentence is the Moody diagram.)
