Description
Summary:•Thirty two bare rod hexagonal bundles pressure drop experiments data available.•Upgraded Cheng and Todreas correlation predicts accurately in both laminar and turbulent regimes.•Data in transition regime slightly over predicted. The accuracy of the prediction of the pressure drop in a bare rod hexagonal bundle by the upgraded Cheng and Todreas correlation has been demonstrated to be excellent using the 32 bundle experimental bare results available in the literature.
