Moody’s diagram is used to calculate the friction factor of commercial pipes.
It is drawn between friction factor and Reynolds number for various relative roughness.
It is derived for the circular pipe but applicable to other cross-sections as well provided that the diameter is replaced by 4 times the hydraulic radius.
Thus the moody’s chart is a graphical representation between the friction factor, relative roughness, and Reynolds number
From the above Moody diagram, we can conclude that:
- Curve A represents laminar flow.
- Curve B and C represent Turbulent flow in the rough pipe.
- Curve D and E represent turbulent flow in smooth pipe.
