Description

This comprehensive course provides an in-depth overview of four essential fluid devices: eductors, ejectors, Venturi pumps, and jet pumps. These components are widely used in fields such as marine engineering, firefighting, and power generation.

Throughout the course, you'll explore the key differences between these devices, their working principles, and component breakdowns. You'll also examine fundamental fluid dynamics concepts like Bernoulli's Principle and the Venturi Effect, which govern their operation.

By the end of this course, you will be able to instinctively evaluate how fluids behave as they move through changing piping and equipment geometry, including changes in pressure and velocity, enabling you to analyse and troubleshoot real-world equipment confidently.

What you will learn in this course
  • Distinguish between eductors, ejectors, Venturi pumps, and jet pumps.
