Description
This CEU course will review various pump and motor operations, starting with proper hydraulic sizing and electrical demand requirements and advancing to the electrical power and other related hydraulic components of pumping water. This course will present the student the engineering science pertaining to liquid pressure, flow and pumping dynamics. This course will cover the basics of hydraulic fundamentals commonly related to the study of the mechanical properties of water. This course will also examine hydrostatics or fluid mechanics as well as the history and development of pumps, hydraulics and the science of fluids.
