It was probably during this visit that Babbage learned of the great French [mathematical] table-making project organized by Baron Gaspard de Prony. This project would show Babbage a vision that would determine the future course of his life. "Du Prony began the project in 1790.... De Prony was... appointed head of the Bureau du Cadastre, the French ordnance survey office. His task was made more complex... by... the new, rational metric system. This created within the Bureau the job of making a complete new set of decimal tables to be known as the Tables du Cadastre. It was by far the largest table-making project the world had ever known, and de Prony decided to organize it much as one would organize a factory. "De Prony took as his starting point the most famous economics text of his day, Adam Smith's

47. Darcy-Weisbach Equation History Thus, his equation performed poorly compared to the empirical prony equation (gaspard Clair Francois Marie Riche de prony, 17551839) in wide use at the time;. http://biosystems.okstate.edu/darcy/DarcyWeisbach/Darcy-WeisbachHistory.htm

Henry Darcy and His Law The History of the Darcy-Weisbach Equation Glenn Brown Oklahoma State University revised 2/21/02 Back to Henry Darcy Main Page What we call the Darcy-Weisbach equation has had a long history of development. It is named after two of the great hydraulic engineers of the middle 19th century, but others have also played a major role. Julies Weisbach (1806-1871) a native of Saxony, proposed in 1845 the equation we now use, h l = fL/D * V where hl is the head loss, L is the pipe length, D is the pipe diameter, V is the average velocity, g is the acceleration of gravity and f is a friction factor. However, he did not provide adequate data for the variation in f with velocity. Thus, his equation performed poorly compared to the empirical Prony equation (Gaspard Clair Francois Marie Riche de Prony, 1755-1839) in wide use at the time; h l = L/D * (aV + bV where a and b are empirical friction factors for the velocity and velocity squared. h l = L/D * [(c + d/D V + (d + e/D)V where c, d

Darcy's entry into Froude fought for years to obtain funding for his towing basin model studies, even when it was clearly in the best interest of the British Admiralty. In fact, at the end of the 19th century Lord Reynolds was only the second person in England to hold an academic appointment in engineering.) Gaspard-Marie Riche de Prony Pierre Simon Girard Louis Marie Henri Navier Jean Claude Barre de Saint-Venant ... Arsene Jumes Emile Juvenal Dupuit (1804-1866) and Henri Emile Bazin (1829-1917). Evangelista Torricelli Blaise Pascal Daniel Bernoulli Leonhard Euler (1707-1783) and Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827). However, theory was well ahead of engineering. In 1786 Pierre Louis Georges Du Buat (1734-1809) wrote, "One knows that until now our understanding of hydraulics has been extremely limited; for however many great geniuses have applied themselves to it at different times, we are still after so many centuries, in almost absolute ignorance of the true laws to which the movement of water is subject; after one hundred fifty years one has barely discovered, with the aid of experiment, the duration, the quantity, and the velocity of the flow of water from a given orifice. All that concerns the uniform course of the waters of the surface of the earth is unknown to us; …For lack of principles, one adopts projects of which the cost is only too real but of which the success is ephemeral;…" (Principles d'hydraulique, v'erifi'es par un grand nombre d'exp'eriences faites par ordre du gouvernement, 2nd edition, Paris, 1786.
