Study Notes

Mecánica de Fluidos: Study of fluid behavior (liquids and gases) at rest and in motion. Fundamental in engineering and science areas like hydraulics and aerodynamics.
Hidroestática: Focuses on fluids at rest. Key concept is pressure, which increases with depth due to the weight of the overlying fluid.
- Principio de Pascal: A pressure change applied to an incompressible and stationary fluid is transmitted uniformly in all directions (applicable in hydraulic presses and brakes).
- Formula for Pressure: P = ρgh (Pressure = density × acceleration due to gravity × height).
- Teorema de Arquímedes: A submerged object experiences an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. Critical for understanding buoyancy and design of vessels.
Hidrodinámica: Studies fluids in motion.
- Flujo de Fluidos: How fluids interact with their environment and each other.
- Ecuación de Bernoulli: Describes energy conservation in moving fluids. Expressed as P + 0.5ρv² + ρgh = constant. (Pressure + kinetic energy + potential energy = constant).
  - Variables:
    - P: Fluid pressure
    - v: Fluid velocity
    - h: Height above a reference level
    - ρ: Fluid density
    - g: Acceleration due to gravity
- Viscosidad: A measure of a fluid's resistance to deformation. High viscosity fluids flow slower than low viscosity fluids (e.g., honey vs. water).
