Would a hydraulic hoist still work as well if the fluid was replaced with air?
No, air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not. It would be analogous to trying to use a giant rubber band instead of a steel crowbar to pry things apart!
What is the Difference between pneumatic cylinders and hydraulic cylinders is?
Working fluid. In one it's gas (air) and in the other it's liquid. This is a much bigger difference than it might seem at first, because gases are compressible and liquids, to a very good approximation, are not.
In Bernoulli's Theorem why is an incompressible and a non-viscous fluid used?
compression in fluids changes the volume of fluid whereas the volume isinversely proportional to the the kinetic energy of flowing fluid. viscous nature of fluid is due to cohesion and adhesion forces of the fluid hence these forces regulates the speed of flowing fluid on the walls of pipe and within the fluid molecules.
What fluid opposes lift?
Compressible fluid force opposes lift. Lift is the upward force due to the fluid flow around an airplane wing. Weight is a downward force caused by gravity which opposes lift.
What do you call machines that use fluid to transmit and increase force?
A machine that runs of of fluid is called a hydraulic.
How does hydraulic clutches work?
by using a non-compressible fluid, it acts like a solid push-rod.
Is air a compressible fluid?
Yes, air is a compressible fluid. Water is not a compressible fluid.
Would a hydraulic hoist still work as well if the fluid was replaced with air?
No, air is compressible, hydraulic fluid is not. It would be analogous to trying to use a giant rubber band instead of a steel crowbar to pry things apart!
What make petroleum oil suitable as hydraulic fluid?
Oil transmits power readily because it is minimally compressible, Lubrication abilities and the cooling properties.

Is sand a compressible fluid?
Can be compressed but not a fluid
Is blood a compressible fluid?
if the density of the fluid changes with respect to pressure is called compressible fluid f the density of the fluid does not changes with respect to pressure is called incompressible fluid
Can you use hydraulic fluid for brake fluid?
Brake fluid is a hydraulic fluid with very specific properties. Use exactly what the manufacture specifies for your particular braking system.
What is the difference between compressible and in-compressible fluids giving examples of the fluids found in human body?
compressible fluid changes its volume when external pressure is applied and in-compressible fluid does not change its volume due to external pressure
Air is incorporated in hydrualic system?
No. Air is compressible and fluid is incompressible. So if air is in the hydraulic lines, it will make the fluid act differently; if the fluid is pushing a piston it will be more spongy. Hydraulic fluid(an oil) is usually under high pressure, like 3,000 psi. This causes any small amount of air to go into the solution of the oil. Most Hydraulic Systems return fluid to a reservoir and the reservoir allows the air to "boil out" of solution and is released.
What is the difference between a compressible fluid and an incompressible fluid?
The density of a compressible fluid changes with pressure, while the density of an incompressible fluid is not affected by pressure (assuming isothermal conditions).
Why would a hydraulic lift not work if it was filled with air?
Air is not compressible
