Moody Chart Solver

J. M. Cimbala, written August 2003; latest update 05 January 2012

This worksheet enables a user to specify a Reynolds number and a roughness factor, and the Darcy friction factor for pipe flow is calculated.
Change values ONLY in the yellow highlighted cells.
Enter the Reynolds number: Re = 4.60E+05
Enter the dimensionless roughness factor: e/D = 0.0005

Result from Colebrook equation (Moody chart): f= 0.01774

Do not mess with the hidden cells below:
