In the present study, the friction coefficients (Fanning and Moody coefficients) and the Nusselt number is reviewed from an educational point of view. It is discussed that these dimensionless numbers can be treated with two lengh scales. Also, the similarity between the momentum and heat transfer is discussed based on the length scales.

Pressure drop at a helical square duct orifice is numerically evaluated. The orifice is installed at the entrance of a once-through steam generator tube to suppress flow instabilities. The calculated results are compared with the available experimental correlations, and showed good agreement. Effects of curvature ratio and characteristics of the secondary flow with Reynolds number are reported. Through the numerical simulations, pressure drop mechanisms were well understood inside the compact and complicated orifice geometry.
