fluid mechanics
statics vs. dynamics
statics: fluids at rest
dynamics: fluids in motion
what is burst pressure?
certain amount of water pressure a pipe can withstand
what is head loss?
loss in pressure
what is head loss a result of?
friction, often in pipes
minor losses due to eddy formations when a pipe changes shape
what are eddy formations?
patterns that form in a fluid as the pipe changes shape
