The authors have not read their own references. On pages 339 thru 341, they describe Colebrook's equation as an expression that has been 'fitted to the data.' Colebrook describes his equation as 'a transition curve that merges asymptotically into the smooth and rough-pipe laws.' They describe Moody's friction factor curves as 'average values for data obtained from various experiments.' Moody describes his curves as plots of the Colebrook equation. His curves are also used to decorate the inside of the book's jacket. Have the authors read any of their references? Prior to the time that the text CONDUIT FLUID FLOW was published in 2004 by D.May, the subject matter has been devoid of substantive relationships because the nature of fluid friction was not understood. The initial developments by Reynolds, von Karman. Prandtl and Colebrook had not been developed to finality. The state-of-the-art was frozen in time, and this incomplete and incorrect information is what the subject book is comprised of. Coupled with the numerous formulations in calculus that do not go anywhere, this book is not a credible learning tool.

I used this book for my introductory course in fluid mechanics as an undergrad. I found the book to be extremely easy to read - something that isn't common among engineering books. As I took more advanced courses in fluid mechanics, I still found myself pulling out this book as a resource - because it presents the material in an extremely clear manner.
