Lewis Ferry Moody (5 January 1880 – 18 April 1953[1]) was an American engineer and professor, best known for the Moody chart, a diagram capturing relationships between several variables used in calculating fluid flow through a pipe. He states that his goal is to present a simple and convenient means for engineers to estimate the friction factor inside the new pipes and conduits running full with steady flow [2]. He has 23 patents for his inventions.[3] He was the first Professor of Hydraulics in the School of Engineering at Princeton.[4]
Biography
He was born on 5 January 1880.
Lewis F. Moody as professor of fluid mechanics and machine design taught at Princeton University starting in 1930.[5] He co-wrote the book Fifty Years’ Progress in Hydraulics with fellow engineer Blake R. Van Leer.[6]
He married Eleanor Greene. His wife died in 1937.[7] His daughter, Eleanor Lowry Moody, married in 1944.[8] He was awarded the Elliott Cresson Medal in 1945.
He was awarded an Honorary Membership of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in 1951.[9]
He died on 18 April 1953.
Legacy
Five years after his death, ASME created an Award to his honours: The Lewis F. Moody award, which is awarded for outstanding original papers useful to the practice of mechanical engineering by the Fluids Engineering Division (FED).[10]
