Fundamentals of Transportation/Analogs
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Transportation networks have analogs with network processes in other systems, such as water networks, structures, and electrical networks. Some of the relationships are outlined below.
| ' | Transportation | Water: Hydrostatics | Structures | Electrical |
| Node Conservation Law | Flow (q) | Current (Kirchoff’s Current Law) | ||
| Fundamental Law | q = kv | P = ρgh | F=δ (mv)/ δ (T) | V=IR |
| k = q/v | F= v δ (m)/ δ (T) | V=I/G | ||
| v=q/k | Bernoulli’s Equation: | Ohm’s Law on resistor | ||
| Constant=p+1/2ρ V2+ ρgh | ||||
| P=F/A (area) | ||||
| F=ma | ||||
| Analogs | flow (q) | Pressure (P*A) | δm/δT | Current (I) |
| density (k) | Density (ρ) | Force (F) | Voltage (V) | |
| velocity (v) | velocity (v) | velocity | Conductance (G) | |
| Equilibrium Conditions | Wardrop (time equal on used pairs in parallel) | Sum of horizontal (and sum of vertical) forces on a structure = 0, sum of moments = 0. | Voltage drop across two components in parallel are equal |
