I am running FEA for two high yield alloys (Inconel and 8630) that are surrounded by Silicon Fluid by Dow and need to know the coefficient of friction. I have the spec sheet on the fluid but it only covers fluid flow info like viscosity and surface tension. Does anyone know where I can find the friction factor? Or can I back this out of the viscosity and etc.
