Excel based moody chart.

[dbecker]

Hello,

I need to calculate friction factor for different reynolds numbers or relative roughness, does anyone have a moody chart that is in a spreadsheet that I may use as a look-up table?

Better yet, the correlations for each trend?

Thanks,

Try looking up "Colebrook Equation".

The information you get will explain things better than I can.

Thank you for this valuable help!

Churchill eliminates the iteration of Colebrook and works for laminar through turbulent flow.
