TF Can the DarcyWeisbach equation and Moody Diagram be used

T/F - Can the Darcy-Weisbach equation and Moody Diagram be used for fluids other than water? Explain

Solution

Darcy-Weisbach equation and Moody Diagram be used for fluids other than water because it takes into consideration different viscosities of liquids during the calculation of the Reynolds Number.

Darcy-Weisbach equation will tell us the capacity of an oil pipeline, or the pressure drop that occurs in an air duct. In a word, it is an indispensable formula if we wish to engineer systems that move liquids or gasses from one point to another.
