Abstract
The assumption of adiabatic change implicit in Fanno flow applies when friction in fairly short parallel ducts is the primary reason for property change. For very long pipes, like natural gas mains, there is time for heat transfer to take place, and an isothermal assumption is more appropriate (see page 31).
