The branch of Fluid Mechanics studies the laws of the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid dynamics) and their interaction processes with solid bodies. Given the relevance of fluids in diverse applications, it is important to know their nature and describe it based on its properties, like pressure, temperature, volume, density, viscosity, compressibility,...

Chemical Engineering is considered the basis of many other industries, as the energy (mainly oil), pharmaceutical, food and electronics industries among others, which makes it one of the mosts important economic factors in some countries. The role of the chemical engineer today continues to grow, carrying out activities such as: equipment and process design, assembly of equipment and...

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics responsible for the study of the interaction between heat, work and other manifestations of energy in systems in equilibrium. Thermodynamics and thermotechnics have a large number of uses, from the power generation in thermal power plants to cooling systems, covering building engineering too. The...

Theelectrical power is obtained from primary energy sources, such assolar energy, hydropower, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass, oil, natural gas orcoal. For the use of these energies power generation plants, suchhydroelectric power poants, wind power plants, photovoltaic power plants, nuclear power plants, combined cycle power plants, etc, are required. The strong evolution...
