SUMMARY
The Moody Chart is not directly valid for non-Newtonian fluids, as it was originally developed for Newtonian fluids. However, methods from the 1950s have been established to extend its application to purely viscous non-Newtonian fluids, particularly power law fluids. These methods allow for the adaptation of the Moody Chart to account for the unique flow characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids, providing engineers with a framework for analyzing fluid dynamics in various applications.
