Question
Download Solution PDFA Moody diagram represents ______ as a function of Reynolds number, in a pipe flow.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- 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 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.
