   Let us define a fluid circuit to represent a system where the fluid flows in a circular manner or in a loop as shown in Figure 5.4.1 below. Figure 5.4.1: Fluid Circuit. The fluid circuit above has a pump between points marked 1 and 2. The pump pushes the fluid to the right causing a current, \(I\), in the clockwise direction.
