Hydraulics

Due to its immense power, hydraulics are used for operating various machinery, vehicles, aircraft, ships and equipment. The data and engineering revolving around hydraulics is so vast, its hard to comprehend.

1,856 Questions

What is an example of a hydraulic system?

Force that is applied at one point is transmitted to another point using an incompressible fluid. for example a lift cylander on a dump truck

What are hydraulics used in?

Used where there's a need to produce a greater force using a smaller force.

E.g. Car brakes

Lifting cars in garages

How does hydraulic action work?

hydralic action works when the wave came and the sea water are toching together

Examples of hydraulics?


Hydraulics is a topic of science and engineering dealing with the mechanical properties of liquids. Hydraulics is part of the more general discipline of fluid power. Fluid mechanics provides the theoretical foundation for hydraulics, which focuses on the engineering uses of fluid properties. Hydraulic topics range through most science and engineering disciplines, and cover concepts such as pipe flow, dam design, fluid control circuitry, pumps, turbines, hydropower, computational fluid dynamics, flow measurement, river channel behavior and erosion.

The word "hydraulics" originates from the Greek word ὑδραυλικός (hydraulikos) which in turn originates from ὕδραυλος meaning water organ which in turn comes from ὕδωρ (water) and αὐλός (pipe).

Describe the laminar sub-layer in hydraulic?

this is the region in the turbulent boundary layer zone,adjacent to the solid surface of the plate. in this zone, the velocity variation is influenced only by viscous effects.

What are Advantages of a hydraulic system?

The hydraulic system are provided auto system and high level pressure control,

and safety for operating system

How do you use hydraulics in NFS underground 2?

On NFS Underground 2, the hydraulics aren't really as good as you think. It looks cool in the garage when you get level three hydraulics, but its exactly the some as level one out on the race track. I have played in awhile, so this might not be correct, but just mess with it. Press and hold the emergency brake (or hard brake, whichever you want to call it). Then just toggle the left joystick from left to right. I palyed on Gamecube, not PlayStation, if that's what you have. So if it doesn't work, don't be too surprised.

'H' for hydraulics on default settings.

Why is it dangerous if air gets into a car braking system?

Modern vehicle braking systems use hydraulic brakes. This means that the system is filled with hydraulic fluid. The fundamental principle of hydraulic science is that this fluid is not compressable. Air is compressable, so if air gets into the brake system, the air will compress when you step on the brake pedal, instead of the car stopping. If there is only a small amount of air in the system, the pedal will feel "soft" or "mushy", but the car will still stop. However, if a significant amount of air gets in the system the pedal will simply go straight to the floor and the car will not stop. While air in the system is very dangerous, it is easy (and free if you can do it yourself) to fix. Just bleed the air out of the system. A manual can outline how you do this correctly. It takes two people, a few basic tools, and about an hour (depending on your skill) to do.
Hydraulic brake systems use the fluid to transfer the force from the brake pedal to the braking system. Fluids can not be compressed. Air bubbles can be compressed and will make the braking system less effective.
In hydraulics, we rely on the ability of the hydraulic fluid to transfer energy from the input end of the system to an output end. If the energy associated with compression of the fluid at the input end is "used up" compressing a bubble in the line, that is just that much energy that won't get to the output end. Looked at another way, compression of the fluid at the input end results in compression of the bubble rather than the delivery of energy to the output end. In a brake system, this is a disaster. It leads to poorly performing brakes, or even a failure. On a moving vehicle, the failure of the brakes frequently spells disaster.

How do you abbreviate the word hydraulic?

You don't, not all words have abbreviations.

What type of hydraulic oil does a Massey Ferguson use?

On my 1980 245 massey I use TDH, avaiable at Wallmart in 5 gal pails for under 50 dollars, you'd pay more at NAP etc.

What is a hydraulic slip ring?

Hydraulic slip rings are similar to electrical slip rings and transmit fluid power from a stationary source to rotating parts. The hydraulic slip rings are also known as Fluid Rotary Unions (FRU).

Fluid pressure is connected from a stationary tube (the stator) to the rotating parts through either single or multi-ported rotating component (rotor) of the slip ring.

Multiple application combined slip rings are also wide used to transport not only hydraulic power but also electrical as well as communication cables through a combined slip ring.

How do you repair a hydraulic pallet jack?

One may look into getting the repair done by a professional for a hydraulic pallet jack. Sometimes jacks are too old to be repaired and need to be replaced. There is a great danger in using a faulty hydraulic pallet jack that could cause sever injuries.

Who made the first hydraulic system?

i think the person that made it was the kid mr pascal guy i unno i remenmber 4 years agoin sceince class saidsomething about it

How do you fix a bent hydraulic arm on a heavy machine such as a backhoe?

If it is the hydraulic cylinder itself you will have to replace it. If it the boom arm a capable welder should be able to repair it.

What is a hydrologists?

Definition of hydrology from Answers.com: The scientific study of the properties, distribution, and effects of water on the earth's surface, in the soil and underlying rocks, and in the atmosphere. So a hydrologist studies those things. For your kind informetion, the question should be who is a hydrologist. If you want to know who is a hydrologist than hydrologist is a geologist skilled in hydrology.

What is a hydraulic function?

A hydraulic function is a function that employs water or other liquid for something to operation. There are many types of hydraulic motors or machinery used for engineering purposes.

The heart would be a good example of a natural hydraulic function.

How does the hydraulic system work?

A hydraulic systems works on the idea that, unlike gasses, liquids cannot be compressed. By using this idea you can set up a system that transfers pressure through liquid to aid in the lifting of an object. One great example of this at work is the breaks in your car. When you put down your foot on the breaks you exert....lets say 100N (Newton's) of force, the shaft which this force travels down would be about 4-5 cm in diameter, because the force traveling through liquid loses no energy, when the force reaches the actual pad on the wheel which has a surface area of (say) 20cm, it will exert 500N of force (force*area....5*100), which will inevitably stop the car. Initially the hydraulic system relied on water to transfer the force between the two areas, but once the true potential of this system was realized, companies set about to develop a special type of hydraulic liquid that was a poor conductor and help to reduce friction.

What is hydraulic motor?

A hydraulic motor is actuated by the hydraulic fluid which is pumped into it, and will use this fluid energy to turn a shaft or mechanical gearset, thus converting fluid energy into mechanical energy.

Why Portland cement is called hydraulic cement?

Portland Cement is classified as "hydraulic" cement because it cures or solidifies due to its chemical exchange with water, stemming from the building material's ability capability to set under water. In the well industry Portland Cement can be placed or pumped into voids at thousands of feet in depth. As long as the mixture is released or pumped without significant breakdown of the mixture due to water flow the cement will cure just as well we see during ground level applications.
