Hydraulics

Hydraulics is disturbed with the realistic applications of fluids, primarily liquids in motion. It is linked to fluid mechanics, which in large part delivers its theoretical foundation. It deals with such matters as the flow of liquids in pipes, rivers, channels and their confinement by dams and tanks. Some of its considerations apply also to gases, usually in cases where the variations in density are moderately small. Thus, the possibility of hydraulics spreads to such mechanical devices as fans, gas turbines and to pneumatic control systems
