How do any Engineers use volume and why is it important for them?
Answer:
Volume is used widely in engineering. Volume is an elementary function of measurement when dealing with an enclosed area. Its used a lot in Water Resources Engineering when trying to understand flow rates, incoming and outgoing wastewater, space needed for holding tanks, etc. Chemical Engineers use it for everything thay work with. All the materials used to go into a solution and that possibilities of what may come out. All over fields use it vaguely as well but not as much as these two.
Look at volume in engineering like doctors look at x-rays and blood test. Its almost essential for every project completed to this world to deal with volume in some sort of way. If not directly with building the item then possibly the usage of the item will some way deal with volume.
Volume effects many different things, if you only look at mechanics:
- a chamber volume can effect its acoustic properties
- Different volumes hold different amount of liquids
- If the volume of a gas is made smaller by pressure, th egas gets hotter.
- If a material gets hotter, its volume expands
- And so many other things...
