Pressure is not amplified by a hydraulic system. You apply a force to a small area,
and that creates a pressure equal to (your force)/(the small area).
The key that makes hydraulic systems useful is the fact that this pressure goes
everywhere throughout the whole sealed system, and exerts the same pressure
everythere. So in another part of the system, there's a movable plate that has
1,000 times the area of the little spot that you pushed on. But it has the same
pressure against it that you exerted against the small area.
The total force on the big area is (pressure) x (the big area) =
(your force)/(the small area) x (the big area) =
(your force)/(the small area) x (1,000 x the small area) = 1,000 x times your force !
The hydraulic system amplifies the total force, by applying the same pressure
to a larger area.

Explain how hydraulic pressure is maintained in a hydraulic system?
A power source - such as a combustion engine or electric motor - mechanically actuates a pump which pushes hydraulic fluid through it. This maintains pressure in the hydraulic system.
What is static pressure in Fluent. Is it the same as hydrostatic pressure. But why does it increase through the channel sometimes?
Is a closed circuit hydraulic system.
What is the difference between pneumatic elevator and hydraulic elevator?
Pneumatic elevators work on air pressure (similar to a bank's drive through suction tubes) and hydraulic elevators work on oil/water pressure.
Do draw bridge uses hydraulic pressure?
yes, it does. hydraulics is what allows the bridge to open through the middle.
How does a hydraulic lift work?
A hydraulic lift works by having pressure travel through a tube into another. One tube is smaller forcing air into the larger one in order to push and raise the lift.

What hydraulic pump generates the pressure to force hydraulic fluid through 100 km of tubes?
Believe it or not, it's an adult human heart

How does hydraulic steering work?
Firstly you need reservoir for hydraulic oil from there goes one line to inlet port of hydraulic pump (which is driven by a engine or electric motor) then the high pressure port from hydraulic pump goes to hydraulic steering orbitrol, which is connected by a shaft to a steering wheel and has usually 4 ports. One port is connected to a pressure port from hydraulic pump (high pressure). Second port is return line to a reservoir (lower pressure). The other two ports are lines that goes to a hydraulic steering cylinder (which delivers the turning force to steering wheels). Operation: When the hydraulic pump is running and has pressure on outlet port the hydraulic oil flows through hydraulic steering orbitrol and back to reservoir. And when you apply turns to a steering wheel the hydraulic steering orbitrol redirects specific amount of hydraulic pressure to a hydraulic steering cylinder and there you have a turning force. -_- max

What is the system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area?
Hydraulic.
How does a brake pressure control valve work?
the brake control valve is used to control the amount of hydrauic pressure form the hydraulic system to the brake system through the metering valve.
What is the function of a relief valve and what is the disadvantage of it?
A relief valve is spring loaded valve that when excessive hydraulic or air pressure is applied it pushes the cylinder in the direction of the spring and lets the oil or air pass through and escape via another hose returning to the hydraulic tank or into the atmosphere in the case of air pressure. Without it hydraulic pipes or cylinders would rupture.
How do thiazide diuretics work?
drugs in this class appear to lower blood pressure through several mechanisms. By promoting sodium loss they lower blood volume.
