Conservation of mechanical energy
ΔE = ΔU + ΔK = 0
Work (mechanical)
F d
Work (isobaric gas-piston system)
P * ΔV
Power
W/t = ΔE/t
Work-Energy Theorem
Wnet = ΔK = Kf - Ki
Mechanical Advantage
Fout / Fin
Efficiency
Wout / Win =
load * load distance) / (effort * effort distance
Density
m/V
Weight of a volume of fluid
Fg = ρVg
Specific gravity
ρ / (1g/ cm3)
Absolute pressure
P0 + ρgz
Gauge pressure
P(guage) = P - P(atm) = (P0 = pgz) - P(atm)
Pascal’s principle
P = F1/A1 = F2/A2
F2 = F1 (A2/A1)
Buoyant force
F(buoy) = p(fluid) * V(fluiddisplaced) * g = ρ(fluid) * V(submerged) * g
Poisseuille’s Law
ΔP = 8μLQ / πR^4
ΔP is the pressure difference between the two ends, L is the length of pipe, μ is the dynamic viscosity, Q is the volumetric flow rate, R is the pipe radius.
Critical Speed
vc = NRη / ρD
Continuity equation
Q = v1 * A1 = v2 * A2
Bernoulli’s equation
P1 + ½ ρv(1)^2 + ρgh(1) = P2 + ½ ρv(2)^2 + ρgh(2)
