Concepts of Hydraulics in simple words

In this paper, we will explain the basic concepts of hydraulics and fluid mechanics (such as flow , pressure, pressure loss, C Factor, Internal pipe diameter…) by using some simple examples.

Hydraulic calculations and system optimization will become easier if the designer fully understands each concept.

Assume that the blue circles in Figure “A” represent people present in the saloon.

They should pass through the corridor and, when they arrive at the yard, lift and move the 20 kilogram weights.

During their walks along the corridor, people lose energy from walking, colliding with one another, and contacting the walls, so they may not have enough energy to lift and move the weights.
This example focuses on how to reduce energy loss of people, so that when they arrive in the yard,

they have enough energy to lift and move the weights.

This example focuses on how to reduce energy loss of people, so that when they arrive
in the yard, they have enough energy to lift and move the weights.

Case 1) One of the solutions is changing the architectural layouts and relocating the saloon closer to the yard.

As shown in Figure 1, shorter corridors will result in people walking fewer distances and losing less energy, and their contact with walls will be reduced as well.
