How to Evaluate Local friction coefficient?

Local friction coefficient evaluator uses Local Friction Coefficient = 0.0592*(Reynolds Number(x)^(-0.2)) to evaluate the Local Friction Coefficient, Local friction coefficient formula is defined as a dimensionless value that characterizes the frictional force exerted by a fluid on a flat plate, which is influenced by the flow conditions and plate surface roughness, and is used to predict the frictional drag and heat transfer in various engineering applications. Local Friction Coefficient is denoted by Cfx symbol.
