Equation Examples
Some examples of equivalent electrical and hydraulic equations:
| type | hydraulic | electric | thermal | mechanical |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| quantity | volume | charge | heat | momentum |
| potential | pressure | potential | temperature | velocity |
| flux | Volumetric flow rate | current | heat transfer rate | force |
| flux density | velocity | current density | heat flux | stress |
| linear model | Poiseuille's law | Ohm's law | Fourier's law | Dashpot |
If the differential equations have the same form, the response will be similar .

Famous quotes containing the words equation and/or examples:
“Jail sentences have many functions, but one is surely to send a message about what our society abhors and what it values. This week, the equation was twofold: female infidelity twice as bad as male abuse, the life of a woman half as valuable as that of a man. The killing of the woman taken in adultery has a long history and survives today in many cultures. One of those is our own.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
