Fluid mechanics is the study of the behavior of fluids under the action of applied forces. On a microscopic scale, matter, and in particular a fluid is composed of molecules at a certain average distance with empty space between them. These molecules are continuously moving and colliding with each other.
An accurate analysis of any problem is based on the study of a molecule or group of molec…
A machine is an energy transformer. A machine absorbs energy of one kind and returns energy of another kind or of the same kind but transformed.
The most practical application of Fluid Mechanics to engineering is machine design. Among them, the most numerous are those that supply energy to a fluid (pumps), although those that extract energy from it (turbines) are also important. Both types of…
Aerodynamics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the movement of air and other gaseous fluids, and the forces that act on the bodies that move in those fluids.
From a practical point of view of aerodynamics, we can mention the movement of an airplane through the air. The presence of an object in a gaseous fluid modifies the distribution of pressure and velocity of fluid particles…
Water Treatment explores the techniques for sizing the precise elements for the operation of a hydraulic work, ways of verifying that an existing work is capable of transporting or evacuating the required flow rates, the study of the calculation and application of viable solutions, the study of the concepts on which hydraulics are based, as well as general concepts of environmental hydrology , th…
