2. Pre-Requisites

The subjects of the previous courses related to fluids are fundamental, but all the subjects of the previous courses should be approved before facing this one.

3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession

Hydraulic circuits including a pump or a turbine are very frequent in industrial environment. This subject proposes to familiarize the
students with this type of elements and their integration in a hydraulic circuit, and teach them to design one of the most used pumps, the
centrifugal pump. The knowledge that is used is closely related to those acquired in "Fluid Mechanics" and "Engineering of
Fluids "
