The ampere (SI unit symbol: A, dimension symbol: I), often shortened to "amp", is a unit of electric current.

In the International System of Units (SI) the ampere is one of the seven SI base units.

It is named after André-Marie Ampère (1775–1836), French mathematician and physicist, considered the father of electrodynamics.

In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress.

Fluids are a subset of the phases of matter and include liquids, gases, plasmas, and to some extent, plastic solids.

Fluids are substances that have zero shear modulus, or, in simpler terms, a fluid is a substance which cannot resist any shear force applied to it.

A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.

Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed as a separate category.

In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure.

The word is derived from the Latin valva, the moving part of a door, in turn from volvere, to turn, roll.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure.

As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape.

A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds.

Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth.

Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container.

Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed.

Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container, and maintains a fairly constant density.

A distinctive property of the liquid state is surface tension, leading to wetting phenomena.

Engineering is the application of mathematics and scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to invent, innovate, design, build, maintain, research, and improve structures, machines, tools, systems, components, materials, processes, solutions, and organizations.
