This document describes a Moody Chart Solver worksheet that allows users to input a Reynolds number and roughness factor to calculate the Darcy friction factor for pipe flow based on the Colebrook equation. The user enters a Reynolds number of 27256 and roughness factor of 0.01, and the worksheet returns a friction factor of 0.04000 based on the Colebrook equation and Moody chart.

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 = 27256 e /D = Enter the dimensionless roughness factor: 0.01 Result from Colebrook equation (Moody chart): Do not mess with the hidden cells below:
