9.2 Flashcards
What does a pressurized fluid in a enclosed system allow u to do?
Allows us to transmit force from one end of the system to the other
Static pressure?
A pressure created inside a closed system that is capable of transmitting a force, even though the fluid is stationary
Dynamic pressure?
The pressure of a moving fluid, which exerts a force and completes work
Hydraulics?
The study and use of pressure in liquids
Hydraulic system?
A fluid system that uses a pressurized liquid transmit force and complete work
What is the purpose of constructing a fluid system?
By Controlling pressure, we can make fluids go where we want do work for us
What do most hydraulic systems use to move the fluid ?
Pumps
Pump?
A device that moves fluids
Most common used pump?
Piston pump
Valve?
A device that controls or directs the flow of fluid through a system
When valves are used in particularly open positions, what does it help u to do?
Allows u to regulate the pressure
Check valve
A specialized type of valve that allows movement in only one direction
What are the different types of valves ?
Gate valve
Butterfly valve
Ball valve
What do simple machines do?
Change direction of force
Change the magnitude, or multiply, the force
(Mechanical advantage)
Hydraulic multiplication?
The process of using a hydraulic system to multiply the Input force to gain a mechanical advantage
