Transitioning to a Career in Designing Water Systems

AI Thread Summary
To transition into designing water systems, leveraging existing knowledge in mechanical elements and hydraulics is crucial. Taking upgrade courses or attending seminars focused on hydraulics can enhance expertise in this area. Gaining practical experience by collaborating with senior professionals in the field will provide valuable insights. Exploring less oil-centric hydraulic applications may broaden understanding and skills. Engaging in continuous learning and hands-on experience is essential for professional development in water system design.

how to ?

i am a maintenance engineer dealling with many mechanical elements specially in power transmission like gear trains and many gear boxes and hydraulic circuits
but i have left my career to another one that will make me workin in the design of water systems and pump sellection ,
so my question is
how to become profissonal in designing water systems
i have my information about centrifugal pumps , pipe lines , and fluid mechanics as well but how can i make the link betweeen my education and my work ??

I would think that you are already academically qualified. Maybe a couple of upgrade courses or seminars in hydraulics? Aside from that, learn by experience with senior workers.
(And I didn't ignore the fact that hydraulics are part of your current position, but maybe something less 'oil-based' will be helpful.)
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
