The document discusses why the fluid friction factor (f) should be abandoned in fluid flow calculations. F is a mathematically undesirable parameter that complicates solving problems by requiring pressure (P), flow velocity (W), and pipe diameter (D) to be included together in equations. It is better to keep these variables separate. The Moody chart, which is based on f, must be used iteratively to determine W or D. However, the chart can be transformed to separate P, W, and D. The transformed chart in Figure 2 allows directly reading the values without iteration. In summary, using f and the standard Moody chart introduces unnecessary mathematical complexity, while the transformed chart allows simpler, direct calculation of flow parameters.

we ignore the small second order terms in the VdW coefficients (i.e., a*b/V^2), then V ~=
R*T/P - a/(P*V) + b If we now make another appproximation and assume P*V ~= R*T (i.e.,
assume the gas behaves close to ideally), we can write: V ~= R*T/P - a/(R*T) + b Taking the

approximate expression for dV/dT)p into the J-T coefficient equation, we have: dT/dP)H =

A General Treatment Of Crack Tip Contour IntegralsJoaquin Hamad
This document discusses crack tip contour integrals and derives general expressions for them from balance laws. It shows that crack tip integrals can be derived from balance laws like energy and momentum balances. The integrals are path-independent in the crack tip region if the fields satisfy certain conditions like locally steady state behavior. Specific crack tip integrals used in fracture analysis can be derived as special cases of the general integral expressions. These include integrals for energy release rate and dissipation. Complementary counterparts to the integrals can also be derived in the same way.
Vector differentiation, the ∇ operator,Tarun Gehlot
The document discusses vector differentiation and vector calculus operators. It introduces vector fields and defines the gradient, divergence, and curl operators. The gradient of a scalar field produces a vector field, while the divergence and curl of a vector field produce a scalar and vector field respectively. The divergence represents how a vector field spreads out of or converges into a small volume. The curl represents how a vector field rotates around an axis. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating these operators for various vector fields.
The document presents several models for predicting the drag force on particles, droplets, and bubbles in dispersed two-phase flows at high volume fractions. It reviews existing models, which include friction factor, drift flux, drag coefficient multiplier, and mixture viscosity approaches. The document then proposes new correlations to predict the influence of volume fraction on drag force. The new correlations express the drag coefficient as a function of volume fraction that approaches unity as volume fraction approaches zero. Experimental data for various systems are presented to validate the new correlations and compare the performance of different models.

This document summarizes a method called transplantation that can be used to show two planar domains have the same spectrum and are therefore isospectral. Transplantation takes a Dirichlet eigenfunction on one domain and constructs a corresponding eigenfunction on the other domain with the same eigenvalue. This is done by dividing the domains into congruent triangles and piecing together the restrictions of the eigenfunction in a way that satisfies continuity and boundary conditions. Numerical computation of the discretized Laplacian spectrum on sample isospectral domains verifies the transplanted eigenfunctions have identical eigenvalues, demonstrating the domains are isospectral.

Properties of 4-vectors like linear combinations and invariant inner products are discussed. 4-vectors make calculations and concepts in special relativity simpler and more transparent.
The Inverse Source Problem in The Presence of External Sources- Dr. Arthur B....Arthur Weglein
This paper presents a brief review of the various integral equation formuiations that have been employed
for the inverse source problem for the inhomogeneous scalar Heimhoitz equation. It is shown that these
formulations apply only in cases where either the data are prescribed on a closed surface surrounding the
unknown source or where the unknown source lies entirely on one side of an open measurement surface.
A generalized integral equation is derived that applies to the more general case where unknown sources
can exist on both sides of an open measurement surface. This latter problem arises in geophysical remote
sensing and the derived integral equation offers an approach to this class of problems not offered by
currently employed techniques.
The Inverse Source Problem in The Presence of External Sources- Arthur B WegleinArthur Weglein
This document presents a review and derivation of integral equation formulations for solving the inverse source problem for the inhomogeneous scalar Helmholtz equation. It summarizes existing formulations, including the Porter-Bojarski integral equations, and derives a new generalized integral equation that applies when unknown sources exist on both sides of an open measurement surface. Specifically:
1) It reviews existing integral equation formulations including the Porter-Bojarski equations and their limitations when external sources are present.
2) It derives a new generalized integral equation relating the unknown source to boundary measurements of an auxiliary field, which isolates the contribution from sources within the measurement region.

Two examples applying the algorithm are also provided.

for the inverse source problem for the inhomogeneous scalar Heimhoitz equation. It is shown that these
formulations apply only in cases where either the data are prescribed on a closed surface surrounding the
unknown source or where the unknown source lies entirely on one side of an open measurement surface.
A generalized integral equation is derived that applies to the more general case where unknown sources
can exist on both sides of an open measurement surface. This latter problem arises in geophysical remote
sensing and the derived integral equation offers an approach to this class of problems not offered by
currently employed techniques.
The Inverse Source Problem in The Presence of External Sources- Arthur B WegleinArthur Weglein
This document presents a review and derivation of integral equation formulations for solving the inverse source problem for the inhomogeneous scalar Helmholtz equation. It summarizes existing formulations, including the Porter-Bojarski integral equations, and derives a new generalized integral equation that applies when unknown sources exist on both sides of an open measurement surface. Specifically:
1) It reviews existing integral equation formulations including the Porter-Bojarski equations and their limitations when external sources are present.
2) It derives a new generalized integral equation relating the unknown source to boundary measurements of an auxiliary field, which isolates the contribution from sources within the measurement region.
3) This new equation applies to problems with open surfaces and external

The document describes an algorithm to determine the common or synchronization period (Tc) of two independent asynchronous events with periods of ta and tb. The algorithm involves 4 steps: 1) Determine the maximum (t2) and minimum (t1) periods. 2) Calculate the difference in periods (Δt). 3) Determine the number of t2 periods in Δt (N2). 4) The synchronization period is Tc = N2 * t1. Two examples applying the algorithm are also provided.
This document provides guidance for Christians on how to effectively share the gospel with Muslims. It emphasizes unfolding God's word sequentially to show his panoramic rescue plan fulfilled in Jesus. Key points include: discussing eternity planted in the human heart and God's power to save as common ground; using Old Testament stories and quotes like Ecclesiastes 3:11-12 that resonate with Muslims; and following Jesus' gracious example in John 4 of conversing in a seasoned, question-answering way that led villagers to acknowledge him as Savior. The goal is engaging Muslims through meaningful conversation that traces the Bible's rescue themes.

Transcript for abraham_lincoln_thanksgiving_proclamation_1863Julio Banks
Lincoln's 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation designated the last Thursday of November as a national day of Thanksgiving. It recognized the blessings of abundant harvests despite the ravages of the ongoing Civil War. Lincoln acknowledged that peace had been maintained with other nations and order and law had prevailed across most of the country, except for battlefields, where advancing Union armies had reduced areas of conflict. He attributed the nation's continued prosperity and population growth, despite wartime losses, to God's gracious gifts and providence. Lincoln called on citizens to offer gratitude and also humble prayers for healing of the nation and restoration of peace.
Thanksgiving and lincolns calls to prayerJulio Banks
1) Abraham Lincoln issued proclamations for national days of fasting, prayer, and thanksgiving during the Civil War, recognizing America's dependence on God for blessings and calling the nation to humble itself before God.
2) Lincoln prayed for victory at Gettysburg and vowed to stand for God if given victory, which may have turned the tide of the war.
3) After the war ended, Lincoln gathered his cabinet to thank God on their knees that the war was over, setting an example for the nation to acknowledge God's role in their blessings and salvation.

A case can be made that since the main basis of "The Theory" of evolution is the "Self-preservation principle". That is, how could the propagation of the a specie be enhanced by the demeaning action of a group against its constituents and even self-against-self. The only explanation is that humas were created and not a result of a random sett of actions causing consciousness arriving from non-conscious matter. Life comes from life, and intelligence (DNA), comes from intelligence. This book can be contrasted with: The Lucifer Effect Understanding How Good People Turn Evil by Philip Zimbardo' and also with the Bible for a view of The Meaning of Life from ancient to contemporary writings for balance understanding of the physical (Psyche) to the metaphysical (Spiritual). We can view the human condition as the effect of gravity of interacting physical objects and human interaction as the response to spiritual influence (angels and demons).
The document discusses the concept of "shadow-self", which refers to humans projecting negative aspects of themselves onto others. It argues that true love and self-acceptance are the answers to overcoming this tendency. It provides several biblical passages about love and discusses how Jesus taught about being free from condemnation. The document concludes that psychological projection arises from psychological dissonance, and that finding one's "true self" through love and embracing uniqueness can lead to enlightenment.
The first step required to defeating an enemy is by first thoroughly defining it. A physician runs tests of their patients to determine the type of pathogen ailing such patients. Similarly, we must be clear that A Muslim Terrorist is indeed a Fundamentalist and not a Radical Terrorist since the method of striking terror is explicitly and clearly defined in the Qur'an. Christianity is the only religion that needs not attack any other religion such as the Islam religion since God is the author and finisher of our faith and also commands the Christians to allow God to avenge Himself for our attacks even from Islamic Terrorist. A Christian is commanded to live at peace with all humans and when such a peaceful coexistence is not achieved then we must simply stay away from such toxic humans.
The primary test for a true religion is that "The Judeo-Christian God does not need nor require that mere mortal human beings to defend Him".

Mathcad P-elements linear versus nonlinear stress 2014-t6Julio Banks
This work couples the classical ESED (Equivalent Strain Energy Density) Method; aka, Glinka. The most expedient method of solving a structural problem using FEA (Finite Element Analysis). There would be occasions when stress concentrations would be calculated due to interior corners, holes, sudden change of geometry (aka stress raisers). Although some software would allow regions in the vicinity of such stress risers to be defined by nonlinear material models such as "Elastic Perfectly-plastic", "Bilinear (Elastic and linear plastic), or the fundamental Ramberg-Osgood metal strain-stress models. Once the Linear-elastic FEA solution is obtained one can readily determine that Pseduo nonlinear strain, the corresponding stress and the implicit stress-intensification factor, Kt. It should be noted that once the analyst-designer is ready for final analysis, it would be most prudent to create a FEA model in which the regions of high concentration of stress to be modeled with local nonlinear models of the metal using St. Vennants' Principle of load-and-resistance distance from area of interest. The P-method is an excellent FEA element that can "find the actual nonlinear stress" by the simple iterative increase of the order of the polynomial representing the stress fields within every P-element. It should be noted that this research was facilitated by the use of the P-element FEA software called StressCheck which is 100% P-element solution which I am quite pleased to have had the opportunity of utilizing for this research.

Spontaneous creation of the universe ex nihil by maya lincoln and avi wasserJulio Banks
Questions regarding the formation of the Universe and ‘what was there ’ before it came to existence have
been of great interest to mankind at all times. Several suggestions have been presented during the ages –
mostly assuming a preliminary state prior to creation. Nevertheless, theories that require initial conditions
are not considered complete, since they lack an explanation of what created such conditions. We therefore
propose the ‘Creatio Ex Nihilo ’ (CEN) theory, aimed at describing the origin of the Universe from ‘nothing ’ in
information terms. The suggested framework does not require amendments to the laws of physics: but rather
provides a new scenario to the Universe initiation process, and from that point merges with state-of-the-art
cosmological models. The paper is aimed at providing a first step towards a more complete model of the
Universe creation – proving that creation Ex Nihilo is feasible. Further adjustments, elaborations, formalisms
and experiments are required to formulate and support the theory.

Advances in fatigue and fracture mechanics by grzegorz (greg) glinkaJulio Banks
Professor Grzegorz (Greg) Glinka has made substantial contributions to the field of stress concentration evaluation using linear FEA results using the ESED (Equivalent Striain Energy Density). ESED aka Glinka methods allows the determination of strain-stress state at a point of local concentration by equating the strain energy from the linear FEA area in the material strain-stress curve to that of the actual strain-stress of the material using a models such as Ramberg-Osgood. The ESED method is more accurate than the Neuber requiring the equating of SED (Strain Energy Densities) of linear FEA results that Stress is proportional to strain even when the FEA predicts a stress greater than the ultimate strength of the material. One easy method of remember when to use ESED versus Neuber is that ESED, more accurate, should be use on the stress analysis of rocket structures and Neuber delegated to aerospace engines and components.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Why the Fluid Friction Factor should be Abandoned, and the Moody
Chart Transformed
Eugene F. Adiutori*
Ventuno Press, Green Valley, Arizona
Abstract: The “fluid friction factor” (f) should be abandoned because it is a mathematically undesirable parameter that
complicates the solution of fluid flow problems.
f is the dimensionless group 2
g PD5
/8LW2
. This group is mathematically undesirable because it includes P, W, and
D. Therefore if f is used in the solution of a problem, the problem must be solved with P, W, and D in the same term,
even though fluid flow problems are generally much easier to solve if P, W, and D are in separate terms. (Just as it is
generally much easier to solve equations if x and y are in separate terms).
The mathematical complication introduced by f is illustrated by the Moody chart (Fig. 1). Because the chart is based on f,
it must be read iteratively (or by trial-and-error) to determine W or D. But if the Moody chart is transformed in order to
eliminate f, the transformed chart (Fig. 2) is read directly to determine P, W, or D.
The fluid flow methodology described herein altogether abandons f, and allows fluid flow problems to be solved in the
simplest possible manner.
INTRODUCTION
In the modern view, fluid flow behavior is described by
the “Darcy equation” (also known as the “Darcy-Weisbach
equation”), Expression (1). In the laminar regime, f is
described by Eq. (2). In the turbulent regime, f is described
by Expression (3). The function in Expression (3) is
described by the Moody [1] chart, Fig. (1).
P = fL V2
/2gD . . . (1)
flaminar = 64/Re . . . (2)
fturbulent = function of Re and /D . . . (3)
Oftentimes, the “Darcy equation”, f, and the Moody chart
are not used, and fluid flow behavior is approximated by
empirical, analytical correlations in the literature, such as,
Pturbulent = aL V
n
/2gD . . . (4)
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND FROM BROWN [2]
In 1845, the fluid friction factor was presented by
Weisbach [3] in the “Darcy equation”, Expression (1).
In Weisbach’s view, this expression was a general
description of the behavior of fluids flowing in pipes. It was
not accepted for some time because Weisbach “did not
provide adequate data for the variation in f with velocity.
Thus, his equation performed poorly compared to the
empirical Prony equation in wide use at the time;
P = L/D(aV + bV2
) . . . (5)
in which a and b are empirical friction factors for the
velocity and velocity squared.”

Arizona; E-mail: Efadiutori@aol.com
Darcy [4] was the first to recognize that P depends on
wall roughness. Fanning [5] was the first to reduce fluid flow
data to friction factor values that quantified the effect of both
V and wall roughness.
(This article is an extension of the friction factor view
presented in Adiutori [6].)
THE “DARCY EQUATION” IS NOT AN EQUATION
The “Darcy equation” is not an equation, even though it
is written in the form of an equation. Equations describe the
relationship between the parameters on the left side of the
equation and those on the right side. The “Darcy equation”
does not do this, and therefore it is not an equation.
For example, the “Darcy equation” does not describe the
relationship between P and V, even though it appears to
state that P is proportional to V2
.
The “Darcy equation” would be an equation if f were a
constant coefficient, in which case the equation would in fact
state that P is proportional to V2
.
f IS NOT A CONSTANT COEFFICIENT
The f in the “Darcy equation” is not a constant
coefficient, even though the symbolism in the “Darcy
equation” indicates that f is a constant coefficient. f is a
variable that depends on Re and /D, and it should be written
in the form f{Re, /D}.
Rouse and Ince [7] state that Weisbach “found the
coefficient f to vary not only with the velocity . . . but also
with the diameter and wall material”. Since Weisbach
viewed the fluid friction factor as a variable that depends on
V, D, and wall material, it is surprising that he presented it in
2. 44 The Open Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2009, Volume 3 Eugene F. Adiutori
the form “f” rather than the correct form “f{V, D, wall
material}”.
THE “DARCY EQUATION” IS A DEFINITION
The “Darcy equation” is a definition. It defines f to be
2 PgD/L V2
, and should be written in the form of a
definition, as in Definition (6).
f 2 PgD/L V2
. . . (6)
f IS A DIMENSIONLESS GROUP
f is a dimensionless group defined by the “Darcy
equation”, just as Re is a dimensionless group defined by
Definition (7).
Re 4W/ μD . . . (7)
Dimensionless groups are best defined by independent
parameters in order to readily reveal the true nature of the
group. For example, Definition (6) seems to state that the f
group includes D, when in fact it states that the f group
includes D5
. This seeming contradiction results because V is
not an independent parameter in Definition (6).
Combining Definition (6) and Eq. (8) eliminates V, and
results in Definition (9).
V = 4W/ D2
. . . (8)
f 2
g PD5
/8LW2
. . . (9)
Definition (9) is the most desirable form of the “Darcy
equation” because it reveals that the “Darcy equation” is not
an equation, and because it defines f in the clearest possible
way.
THE MODERN VIEW OF FLUID FLOW BEHAVIOR
IN TERMS OF PHYSICAL PARAMETERS
Equation (2) and Expression (3) describe the modern
view of fluid flow behavior in terms of the dimensionless
groups f and Re. Substituting 2
g PD5
/8LW2
for f and
4W/ μD for Re in Eq. (2) and Expression (3) results in Eq.
(10) and Expression (11), the modern view of fluid flow
behavior expressed in terms of physical parameters:
( 2
g PD5
/8LW2
)laminar = 16 μD/W . . . (10)
( 2
g PD5
/8LW2
)turbulent = function of 4W/ μD and /D
(11)
The function in Expression (11) is described by the
Moody chart.
THE MOODY [1] CHART, (FIG. 1)
The Moody chart appears in most texts and handbooks on
fluid flow engineering. Moody prepared the chart by plotting
widely used correlations that were applied over narrow
Fig. (1). The Moody [1] chart.
3. Abandoning Fluid Friction Factor The Open Mechanical Engineering Journal, 2009, Volume 3 45
ranges of Reynolds numbers, then fairing curves between the
different ranges.
In terms of dimensionless groups, the Moody chart is in
the form of Eq. (2) and Expression (3). In terms of physical
parameters, the Moody chart is in the form of Eq. (10) and
Expression (11).
Moody explained why the coordinates in the Moody
chart are f and Re, since other coordinates were also used to
describe fluid flow behavior in 1944:
R. J. S. Pigott [8] published a chart for the
(Darcy friction factor), using the same
coordinates (used in the Moody chart). His
chart has proved to be most useful and
practical and has been reproduced in a
number of texts.
THE “DARCY EQUATION”, f, AND THE MOODY
CHART ARE SUPERFLUOUS IN THE LAMINAR
REGIME
The “Darcy equation”, f, and the Moody chart are
superfluous in the laminar regime because fluid flow
behavior is described by Eq. (12), obtained by rearranging
Eq. (10).
Plaminar = 128μWL/ gD4
. . . (12)
Note that the “Darcy equation” appears to indicate that
P is generally proportional to V2
, even though P is
proportional to V in the laminar regime. The seeming
contradiction results because f in the “Darcy equation” is
written as though it were a constant coefficient, when in fact
f is a variable that depends on Re and /D, and should be
written in the form f{Re, /D}.
In summary, the “Darcy equation”, f, and the Moody
chart serve no useful purpose when dealing with laminar
flow.
WHY f IS MATHEMATICALLY UNDESIRABLE
f is the group 2
g PD5
/8LW2
. The f group is mathe-
matically undesirable because it includes P, W, and D. This
makes it necessary to solve turbulent fluid flow problems
with P, W, and D together in f, whereas the problems
would be easier to solve if P, W, and D were in separate
terms.
Using f methodology, turbulent fluid flow is described by
Expression (11). With regard to P, W, and D, Expression
(11) is in the form of Expression (13), whereas the mathe-
matically desirable form is Expression (14).
PD5
/W2
= function of W/D and D . . . (13)
P = function of W and D . . . (14)
In summary, f is mathematically undesirable because f
makes it necessary to solve turbulent fluid flow problems
with the variables together as in Expression (13), even
though the problems would be easier to solve if the variables
were separated as in Expression (14). (Just as it is generally
much easier to solve equations if x and y are separated).
Using the Moody chart (Fig. 1) to solve practical
problems illustrates why f is mathematically undesirable—
i.e. why 2
g PD5
/8LW2
is mathematically undesirable.
THE MOODY CHART MUST BE READ ITERA-
TIVELY TO DETERMINE W OR D
The Moody chart must be read iteratively (or by trial-
and-error) to determine W or D because the chart is based on
f, a dimensionless group that includes P, W, and D.
Note that if the chart is used to determine W, the
coordinates of f and Re cannot be calculated from the given
information because f and Re are groups that include W.
Therefore the chart must be read iteratively (or by trial-and-
error).
Also note that, if the chart is used to determine D, the
coordinates of f, Re, and /D cannot be calculated from the
given information because f, Re, and /D are dimensionless
groups that include D. Therefore the chart must be read
iteratively (or by trial-and-error).
HOW THE MOODY CHART CAN BE TRANSFOR-
MED TO A FORM THAT IS READ WITHOUT
ITERATING
The Moody chart can be transformed to a form that is
read without iterating to determine P, W, or D. The
transformation is based on noting the following:
f 2
g PD5
/8LW2
. . . (15)
Re 4W/ μD . . . (16)
fRe2
( /D)3
2 Pg 3
/Lμ2
. . . (17)
Re(D/ ) 4W/ μ . . . (18)
Identity (17) indicates that fRe2
( /D)3
includes P, but
does not include W or D. Identity (18) indicates that Re(D/ )
includes W, but does not include P or D.
Therefore P, W, and D are in separate terms in charts
based on fRe2
( /D)3
, Re(D/ ), and /D—ie charts based on
2 Pg 3
/Lμ2
, 4W/ μ , and /D. Since P, W, and D are
separated, the charts are in the form of Expression (14), and
can be read without iterating to determine P, W, or D.
THE MOODY CHART TRANSFORMED TO A FORM
THAT IS READ WITHOUT ITERATING, FIG. (2)
Fig. (2) is the Moody chart transformed to Expression
(19), a form that is read without iterating.
log(W/μ ) = function of log( /D) and log( Pg 3
/Lμ2
) (19)
The transformation was accomplished in the following
steps:
1. Obtain f, Re, and /D coordinates for eleven curves in
the Moody chart by reading the chart for relative
roughness from .00001 to .05 at Reynolds numbers
from 104

3. Use the 0.5fRe2
( /D)3
and ( /4)Re(D/ ) coordinates
calculated in Step 2 to prepare Fig. (2), a chart of
log(( /4)Re(D/ )) vs. log( /D), parameter log(0.5fRe2
( /D)3
). Note that Fig. (2) is presented in terms of
physical parameters rather than dimensionless para-
meters. It is labeled log(W/μ ) vs. log( /D), parameter
log( Pg 3
/Lμ2
).
Note the following in Fig. (2):
• The y coordinate is dependent on W, but is indepen-
dent of P and D.
• The x coordinate is dependent on D, but is indepen-
dent of P and W.
• The chart parameter is dependent on P, but is
independent of D and W.
• If W is to be determined from Fig. (2), the coordi-
nates on the x axis and the chart parameter are
calculated from the given information, and the chart
is read without iterating.
• If D is to be determined from Fig. (2), the coordinates
on the y axis and the chart parameter are calculated
from the given information, and the chart is read
without iterating.
• If P is to be determined from Fig. (2), the coordi-
nates on the y axis and the x axis are calculated from
the given information, and the chart is read without
iterating.
It is important to note that, over the range of Re and
relative roughness common to both charts, the Moody chart
and Fig. (2) are essentially identical. They differ only in
form.
THE MOODY CHART VS. FIG. (2)
• The Moody chart and Fig. (2) are essentially identical
except for form. They provide essentially the same
answers to problems.
• The Moody chart is based on groups 2
g PD5
/
8LW2
, W/ μD, and /D. Fig. (2) is based on groups
Pg 3
/Lμ2
, W/μ , and /D.
• The Moody chart must be read iteratively (or by trial-
and-error) when it is used to determine W or D in the
turbulent regime. Fig. (2) is read without iterating
when it is used to determine P, W, or D.
• The Moody chart describes both the laminar and
turbulent regimes. Fig. (2) describes only the
turbulent regime because the laminar regime is
described by Eq. (12).
• The imprecision in reading Fig. (2) is one-fourth of a
division. The resulting imprecision is ±1.2% of D,
±3% of W, and ±6% of P. The imprecision in
reading a Moody chart of the same size is
considerably smaller.
EXAMPLE PROBLEM USING THE MOODY CHART,
FIG. (1)
A pipe line is to be laid to transport fluid from Plant A to
Plant B. Using the given information and the Moody chart
(Fig. 1), determine the pipe diameter that will result in a flow
rate of 2.50 kg/s with a pressure drop of 20000 kg/m2
.
Given
Pipe roughness = .000050 m
Equivalent length of pipe line = 60 m
μ = .000750 Kg/m s
= 950 kg/m3
Analysis
(The analysis is to be performed by the reader.)
Answer
A pipe diameter of .0331 m will result in a flow rate of
2.5 kg/s with a pressure drop of 20000 kg/m2
.
EXAMPLE PROBLEM USING FIG. (2)
Repeat the above problem using Fig. (2) instead of Fig.
(1).
Analysis
Use the given information to calculate values for the y
coordinate and the chart parameter in Fig. (2).
log(W/μ ) = log(2.5/(.00075x.00005) = 7.82 (20)
log( Pg 3
/Lμ2
) =
log(20000x9.82x950x.000053
/(60x.000752
)) = .16 (21)
Use the above values and Fig. (2) to determine the value
of the x coordinate. Then solve for the value of D.
log( /D) = 2.82 (from Fig. (2)) . . . (22)
( /D) = .00151 . . . (23)
D = /( /D) = .00005/.00151 = .0331 m. . . . (24)
Answer
A pipe diameter of .0331 m will result in a flow rate of
2.50 kg/s with a pressure drop of 20000 kg/m2
.
(The Moody chart solution obtained by iterating is:
D = .0328 m, f = .0232, Re = 1.29x105
, /D = .00152.)
