Brakes Flashcards
How is energy defined
The ability to do work
What are 3 Different types of heat Transfer
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Their are 2 Types of Convection, What are they ?
Natural Convection
Forced Convection
What is the formula for finding the coefficient of friction
COF=F/W
Force/ Weight
What is Brake Fad?
When the friction between the drum or disc has become so hot that their is a very low coefficient of friction
What is Static Friction
Resistance without Movment
What is Kinetic Friction?
Resistance with at least one object in motion
Power is defined by
Measure of rate at which work is done
The amount of force applied by fluid pressure depends on?
Amount of pressure in the system
Working surface area
What does Miscibility Mean?
Capable of being mixed
What does Hydroscopic Mean?
The Ability to absorb moisture
DOT 5 Brake fluid can be mixed with other brake fluids?
True
False
False
It isn’t Hydroscopic and is silicone based where as the other brake fluid is glycol based
What are three types of Hydrolic Brakes ?
Hydrolic brakes
High pressure power brakes
Power assisted brakes
What are three common power assist systems
Vaccum booster system
Air over Hydrolic
Hydrolic over Hydrolic brake systems
