Analysis of some physical phenomena and processes by equivalent electrical circuits
Electric circuit analysis is a very powerful tool solving many complex problems. Consequently, most non-electrical problems can be efficiently resolved if they are modelled, first, by appropriate electric circuits. In this paper some physical phenomena (in thermodynamics, optics and dynamics of fluids) are chosen to illustrate the above statement. The modelling procedure exposed can also be extended to other problems in science.
