The advance in mobile apps and internet
accessibility changed the way we socialize and the way we work: Sharing
information, instant communications, cloud computing and online calculations
are just few examples of the internet in our daily life. One advantage of mobile
apps and online calculations is that they liberate us from the desktop and allows
us performing engineering calculations on site, as soon as we need or as soon
as we collect new data.

Some years ago, I created a website for
performing some calculation that I used quite often. Over the years I’ve been
including new equations, but the interface was not so friendly. I decided to
improve the interface and make it friendlier, so that it can be used by others. Try the online hydraulic design website.
