When we talk about climate change, we tend to focus on its more tangible effects: extreme heat, ocean warming, melting glaciers, and so on. But anywhere from 500 meters to a few kilometers beneath our ...

Every fluid -- from Earth's atmosphere to blood pumping through the human body -- has viscosity, a quantifiable characteristic describing how the fluid will deform when it encounters some other matter ...

“The Forces of Fluid Power” presents a comprehensive overview of fluid power transmission systems. It offers a broad scope of information, from fluid characteristics and basic energy forms to force ...

Over the last several years, Northwestern Engineering’s Wesley Burghardt expanded the content in his CHEM_ENG 321: Fluid Mechanics course to emphasize the practical aspects about how fluid pumps work.
