Hydraulic Analogy - Equation Examples

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:

    “A nation fights well in proportion to the amount of men and materials it has. And the other equation is that the individual soldier in that army is a more effective soldier the poorer his standard of living has been in the past.”
    —Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    “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)
