Approximation of the Colebrook Equation for Flow Friction with Immune Plasma Programming

Abstract

The Colebrook equation, which calculates the flow friction, is used to calculate pressure loss in ventilation ducts with turbulent flow, pipes with water or oil. The computational complexity of the equation increases when the friction factor occurs on both sides of the equation. In this study, a new Colebrook approach to compute flow friction with lower cost is proposed based on the Immune Plasma Programming (IPP) automatic programming method based on the stages of immune plasma therapy. The success of IPP was compared with Artificial Bee Colony Programming (ABCP), quick ABCP, semantic ABCP, quick semantic ABCP. The simulation results show that IPP can be used to effectively solve real-world problems.
