Equation Examples
Some examples of equivalent electrical and hydraulic equations:
| type | hydraulic | electric | thermal | mechanical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| quantity | volume | charge | heat | momentum |
| potential | pressure | potential | temperature | velocity |
| flux | Volumetric flow rate | current | heat transfer rate | force |
| flux density | velocity | current density | heat flux | stress |
| linear model | Poiseuille's law | Ohm's law | Fourier's law | Dashpot |
If the differential equations have the same form, the response will be similar .

Famous quotes containing the words equation and/or examples:
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
