hydraulics

It applies fluid mechanics in order to generate, control and transmit power through the use of pressurized liquids.

• Hydraulics

• Mechanics

• Dynamics

It is usually an electric motor or a diesel engine that gets the hydraulic system started by powering the pump.

• reservoir

• prime mover

• actuator

• valve

Pneumatic fluids may be water-based, petroleum-based or synthetic.

• True

• False

Its role is to displace fluid volume against a resistant load or pressure.

• diesel engine

• electric motor

• hydraulic pump

• reservoir

In our circulatory system, what is the equivalent of hydraulic fluid?

• veins and arteries

• sinotrial node

• left and right ventricles

• blood

These are used to start, stop and direct the flow of hydraulic fluid in the system.

• valves

• actuators

• pump

• reservoir

These are used to convert hydraulic energy back to mechanical energy.

• valves

• actuators

• pump

• reservoir

It holds a volume of hydraulic fluid and helps air and moisture to be released from the fluid.

• valves

• actuators

• pump

• reservoir

Pressure is directly proportional to force.

• True

• False

• 50 Pa

• 2 Pa

• 0.5 Pa

• 15 Pa
