  Prony equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Prony equation is a historically important equation in hydraulics, used to calculate the head loss due to friction within a given run of pipe.
It is an empirical equation developed by Frenchman Gaspard de Prony in the 19th century:
This equation has been supplanted in modern hydraulics by the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which used it as a starting point.

The Darcy-Weisbach equation is an important and widely used equation in (Study of the mechanics of fluids) hydraulics.
The friction factor f varies according to the parameters of the pipe and the velocity of the flow, and is known to high accuracy within certain flow regimes.
However, data on its variation with velocity was initially lacking, so this equation was outperformed at first by the empirical Prony equation in many cases.

The Darcy-Weisbach equation is an important and widely used equation in hydraulics.
The equation was initially a variant on the Prony equation; this variant was developed by Henry Darcy of France, and further refined into the form used today by Julies Weisbach of Saxony in 1845:
In later years it was eschewed in many special-case situations in favor of a variety of empirical equations, notably the Hazen-Williams equation, most of which were significantly easier to use in calculations.

 Darcy-Weisbach Equation History
Surprisingly, Prony developed his own equation, but it is believed that Weisbach was aware of Chézy's work from Prony's publication.
The Darcy-Weisbach equation was not made universally useful until the development of the Moody diagram (Moody, 1944) which built on the work of Hunter Rouse.
The name of the equation through time is also curious and may be tracked in hydraulic and fluid mechanics textbooks.
