Fluid Power Guide

Tools for Engineering Fluid Mechanics

The links below will take you to my calculators designed for “plumbing” applications. Online calculators or any “canned” software are not well suited to engineering . Most of the activities in engineering fluid mechanics involve setting up a control volume for the problem at hand which then gives results in a fairly straightforward manner. However, there are some exceptions such as when table or graphical look-ups are needed or standard formulas are used to estimate desired quantities.

For each calculator, I have a background page discussing issues such as accuracy, data sources, etc.
