Fluid Technology
The technology of using gasses and liquids to apply force or to transport.
Fluid Technology – The technology of using fluid, either gases (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulics) to apply force or to transport. (Airbrakes on a truck, tires on a bike, hydraulic jack, plumbing, air ducts and fans)

Fluid Tech Notes
Fluid Technology – The technology of using fluid, either gases (pneumatics) or liquid (hydraulics) to apply force or to transport. (Airbrakes on a truck, tires on a bike, hydraulic jack, plumbing, air ducts and fans).
FLUID TECHNOLOGY-When an engineer uses liquid, which is Hydraulics, or when an engineer uses gases, which is pneumatics to power the vehicle or machine that that transports
something, or to apply force. (Fans, air ducts, plumbing, hydraulic jacks, tires on a bicycle, or airbrakes on a truck).
CRANES-Fluid Technology, especially Hydraulics/liquid, can be used to power cranes in all shapes and sizes.
AIR COMPRESSORS--Hydraulics can also be used to power air compressors like this one;
AIR CONDENSERS--Pneumatics can also be used to power Air Condensers.
Fluid power is the use of fluids under pressure to generate, control, and transmit power. Fluid power is subdivided into hydraulics using a liquid such as mineral oil or water, and pneumatics using a gas such as air or other gases. Compressed-air and water-pressure systems were once used to transmit power from a central source to industrial users over extended geographic areas; fluid power systems today are usually within a single building or mobile machine.

Hydraulics - denoting, relating to, or operated by a liquid moving in a confined space under pressure.

Hydrostatics - relating to or denoting the equilibrium of liquids and the pressure exerted by liquid at rest.
Hydrodynamics - the branch of science concerned with forces acting on or exerted by fluids (especially liquids).
Pneumatics - the branch of physics or technology concerned with the mechanical properties of gases.
Pressure can be measured in Pascals, bars, technical atmosphere (at), standard atmosphere (atm), torr, and psi (pounds per square inch), atmospheres (atm)
standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter.
Aerostatics - a branch of statics that deals with the equilibrium of gaseous fluids and of solid bodies immersed in them.
Hot Air Balloons
Aerodynamics - the study of the properties of moving air, and especially of the interaction between the air and solid bodies moving through it.
Airplanes
Lifts Formula: L = (1/2) d v2 s CL
L = Lift, which must equal the airplane's weight in pounds
d = density of the air. This will change due to altitude. These values can be found in a I.C.A.O. Standard Atmosphere Table.
v = velocity of an aircraft expressed in feet per second
s = the wing area of an aircraft in square feet
CL = Coefficient of lift , which is determined by the type of airfoil and angle of attack
Drag is influenced by other factors including shape, texture, viscosity (which results in viscous drag or skin friction), compressibility, lift (which causes induced drag), boundary
layer separation, and so on.
