The Froessling equation is a specific correlation of the Sherwood number (Sh) for a single sphere analysis.

f is the number of sheaves in the purchase, and there is a roughly % loss of efficiency at each sheave due to friction, then:

In fluid flow, friction loss (or skin friction) is the loss of pressure or “head” that occurs in pipe or duct flow due to the effect of the fluid’s ... more
