The subject "Fluid Machines" is a subject of the specific mechanical block that is taught in the second semester of the third course of the degree in mechanical engineering taught at the CUD. The subject uses the fundamental tools used in the study of fluid movement (differential, integral and dimensional analysis) acquired in the subject "Fluid Mechanics" and applies them to energy transformer devices in which energy is transferred between the fluid that runs through the machine and its moving parts. The subject is focused on the study of machines with incompressible fluid.
The need to reconcile the specific military training of the future Navy Officer with that of the degree in mechanical engineering leads to the subject being taught and evaluated aboard the "Juan Sebastián de Elcano" Training Ship.
