Friction Factor Based on Length:

Inlet Boundary:350 kPa

Outlet Boundary: 0.335 L/s
Using the designs with the least friction factor (including the circular pipe) and the
same initial and boundary conditions except for length. The pipes were simulated using
different lengths.
Length: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

 Friction Factor Based on Viscosity and Volume Flow Rate:
Inlet Boundary:350 kPa
Outlet Boundary: Varying Volume Flow Rate
Using the designs with the least friction factor (including the circular pipe) and the
same initial and boundary conditions except for volume flow rate. The pipes were
simulated using different working fluids with increasing volume flow rate.
