  2. Fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_mechanics

    Fluid mechanics is the branch of physics concerned with the mechanics of fluids (liquids, gases, and plasmas) and the forces on them. [1]: 3 It has applications in a wide range of disciplines, including mechanical, aerospace, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering, as well as geophysics, oceanography, meteorology, astrophysics, and biology.

  3. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a nearly constant volume independent of pressure. It is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

  4. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    The study of momentum transfer, or fluid mechanics can be divided into two branches: fluid statics (fluids at rest), and fluid dynamics (fluids in motion). When a fluid is flowing in the x-direction parallel to a solid surface, the fluid has x-directed momentum, and its concentration is υ x ρ .

  5. Outline of fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_fluid_dynamics

    In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluidsliquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion).

  7. Viscosity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity

    Viscosity is a measure of a fluid's rate-dependent resistance to a change in shape or to movement of its neighboring portions relative to one another. [1] For liquids, it corresponds to the informal concept of thickness; for example, syrup has a higher viscosity than water. [2]

  8. Rheology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheology

    Rheology (/ r iː ˈ ɒ l ə dʒ i /; from Greek ῥέω (rhéō) 'flow' and -λoγία (-logia) 'study of') is the study of the flow of matter, primarily in a fluid (liquid or gas) state but also as "soft solids" or solids under conditions in which they respond with plastic flow rather than deforming elastically in response to an applied force.

  9. Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubular_Exchanger...

    The member companies of TEMA must demonstrate high quality exchanger fabrication standards, and possess in-house engineering capability for mechanical and thermal design of shell and tube type heat exchangers. Companies may fabricate other equipment in addition to heat exchangers. The current member companies of TEMA (in alphabetical order) are:
