Hydraulic Principles

Front

What is Potential Energy in a hydraulic system?

Back

Potential Energy is the energy in a system in the form of Pressure.

Front

What does Bernoulli's Principle state?

Back

Bernoulli's Principle states that a fluid's energy changes when the cross-sectional area changes.

Front

What is Turbulent Flow?

Back

Turbulent Flow is the preferred flow when flushing hydraulic systems.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy in a hydraulic system?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy in a system due to Velocity.

What are the properties of Oil as a hydraulic medium?

Back

Oil, as a hydraulic medium, is easily filtered.

Front

What is the relationship between pressure and potential energy in hydraulics?

Back

In hydraulics, potential energy is directly related to pressure; higher pressure indicates higher potential energy.

Front

How does cross-sectional area affect fluid energy according to Bernoulli's Principle?

Back

According to Bernoulli's Principle, as the cross-sectional area decreases, the fluid's velocity increases, leading to a change in energy.

Front

What are the characteristics of Turbulent Flow compared to Laminar Flow?

Back

Turbulent Flow is chaotic and has higher energy loss, while Laminar Flow is smooth and has lower energy loss.

Front

What factors influence Kinetic Energy in a hydraulic system?

Back

Kinetic Energy in a hydraulic system is influenced by the fluid's velocity and mass.
