Association of Teachers of the EPFL

Non-school entity

The Association of Teachers of the EPFL (APEL) is an organization that aims to facilitate professors' meetings and represent their opinions to EPFL's Direction on important topics. APEL is consulted on subjects of a prescriptive nature and maintains relationships with professors from EPFL Zurich, Swiss universities, and foreign similar schools. The association, governed by its statutes, admits various categories of professors as members and ensures the defense of their professional interests. APEL's resources come from member contributions, as well as public and private donations. The yearly general assembly, the supreme authority of the association, convenes to discuss and decide on various matters related to the association's goals and activities.

Cavitation

Cavitation is a phenomenon in which the static pressure of a liquid reduces to below the liquid's vapour pressure, leading to the formation of small vapor-filled cavities in the liquid. When subjected to higher pressure, these cavities, called "bubbles" or "voids", collapse and can generate shock waves that may damage machinery. These shock waves are strong when they are very close to the imploded bubble, but rapidly weaken as they propagate away from the implosion. Cavitation is a significant cause of wear in some engineering contexts.

Turbine

A turbine ('tɜːrbaɪn or 'tɜːrbɪn) (from the Greek τύρβη, tyrbē, or Latin turbo, meaning vortex) is a rotary mechanical device that extracts energy from a fluid flow and converts it into useful work. The work produced can be used for generating electrical power when combined with a generator. A turbine is a turbomachine with at least one moving part called a rotor assembly, which is a shaft or drum with blades attached. Moving fluid acts on the blades so that they move and impart rotational energy to the rotor.

Hydraulic machinery

Hydraulic machines use liquid fluid power to perform work. Heavy construction vehicles are a common example. In this type of machine, hydraulic fluid is pumped to various hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders throughout the machine and becomes pressurized according to the resistance present. The fluid is controlled directly or automatically by control valves and distributed through hoses, tubes, or pipes.
