A person with no experience in fluid mechanics wants to estimate the friction factor for 1-in.-diameter galvanized iron pipe at a Reynolds number of 8000. The person stumbles across the simple equation of f = 64/Re and uses this to calculate the friction factor. Explain the problem with this approach and estimate the error.
