Hydraulics is based on physics. As a result, it’s crucial that you understand the theoretical
concepts and fundamental laws applicable to hydraulics. Parameters to control include force,
speed, acceleration, path, flow rate, and pressure. In addition, you need to understand the
fundamental laws of hydraulics, such as the continuity equation, energy equation, and pressure
losses due to friction.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
• Analyze and discuss the theoretical concepts applicable to hydraulics
• Summarize parameters and their units
• Understand the fundamental laws of hydraulics
