Hydraulic machines are those that convert either hydraulic energy (energy possessed by water) into mechanical energy (which is further converted into electrical energy ) or mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic machines, which convert the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, are called turbines while the hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical energy into hydraulic […]

Hydraulic machines are defined as those machines which convert either hydraulic energy (energy possessed by water) into mechanical energy (which is further converted into electrical energy ) or mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The hydraulic machines, which convert the hydraulic energy into mechanical energy, are called turbines while the hydraulic machines which convert the mechanical […]

In Fluid Dynamics, A jet is a liquid stream projected into a surrounding medium or an object from the nozzle. Jet propulsion means the propulsion or movement of the bodies such as ships, aircraft, and rockets with the help of a jet. The reaction of the jet coming out from the orifice provided in the bodies is […]

A Nozzle is the portion of the pipe where the cross-sectional area varies from larger diameter to smaller diameter, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid. A jet is a liquid stream projected into a surrounding medium or an object from the nozzle. This article will discuss How we can Calculate […]

In continuation with the previous article, Model Analysis in Fluid Mechanics helps predict the performance of these hydraulic structures or hydraulic machines before actually constructing or manufacturing. Model law helps identify the dynamic similarities between the model and the prototype. Let us discuss more details on different Model Laws in Fluid Dynamics. Dimensional Analysis and Model […]

In Fluid Mechanics, Dimensional Analysis and Model Analysis are two important tools to help engineers to build structures or machines which involve hydraulic fluid. Model analysis especially helps predict the performance of these hydraulic structures (such as dams, spillways etc.) or hydraulic machines (such as turbines, pumps etc.), before actually constructing or manufacturing. In the […]

In the previous article, we discussed the Continuity equation, and the rate of flow discharge In Fluid Mechanics, the hardy cross method is used to analyse the Pipe network with help of a continuity equation. Pipe Network A pipe network is an interconnected system of pipes forming several loops or circuits. The pipe network is […]

In Fluid mechanics, we have discussed different energy losses of fluid flow through pipes and studied the Viscous fluid flow in the pipe. In this article, let us see how to calculate the Power Transmission Through Pipes and the maximum efficiency. Power Transmission Through Pipes Power is transmitted through pipes by flowing water or other […]

With Reynold’s experiment, we have discussed the laminar flow and turbulent flow, and how the transition happens from Laminar to turbulent. In fluid flow, we need to understand and study different energy losses. In this article, we will discuss what are the different major and minor energy losses in a fluid flow. Energy Losses in […]

In Fluid Dynamics, Reynold’s number helps us determine the flow type such as laminar or turbulent. In the previous articles, we have already seen how we can find Reynold’s number. This article will discuss how we can determine Reynold’s number by using Reynold’s Experiment. Turbulent Flow The laminar flow has been discussed in the previous […]

The Fluids that have higher viscosity are known as viscous fluids and they will have very less velocity flow. The most common and general example of viscous fluid is honey, grease and oil. We have been discussing kinematics and the dynamics of the fluid. We already discussed the Loss of Head of a viscous fluid flow in […]
