Covers fluid statics and dynamics, Bernoulli's theorem, viscosity, and Reynolds number — the theoretical basis for hydraulic systems used in air-brake pneumatics, hydraulic transmission in some diesel locomotives, and fluid coupling/torque converter operation.
Key Points
- Reynolds number determines whether flow is laminar or turbulent — directly relevant to lubrication system design.
