Credit: 1 Hour

COURSE INTRODUCTION & OUTLINE:

• Liquids:

– Have no Shape

– Are Incompressible

– Transmit Force in all Directions, Equally

– Multiply Force

• 3 - Types of Hydraulic Energy:

– Potential, Kinetic, & Heat

– None are Created or Destroyed, only Converted

– All Energy Input is Converted into an Output, Gain (work) or Loss (heat)

Pascal’s Law
 

• Pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions, and acts with equal force on equal areas, and at right angles to them.
