  2. Tire balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_balance

    Tire balance is measured in factories and repair shops by two methods: with static balancers and with dynamic balancers. Tires with large unbalances are downgraded or rejected. When tires are fitted to wheels at the point of sale, they are measured again on a balancing machine , and correction weights are applied to counteract their combined ...

  3. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    These four readings are sufficient to define the size and position of a final mass to achieve good balance. Ref 4 For production balancing, the phase of dynamic vibration is observed with its amplitude. This allows one-shot dynamic balance to be achieved with a single spin, by adding a mass of internally calculated size in a calculated position.

  4. Fluid bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_bearing

    Fluid bearings generally have very low friction—far better than mechanical bearings. One source of friction in a fluid bearing is the viscosity of the fluid leading to dynamic friction that increases with speed, but static friction is typically negligible. Hydrostatic gas bearings are among the lowest friction bearings even at very high speeds.

  5. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    The study of momentum transfer, or fluid mechanics can be divided into two branches: fluid statics (fluids at rest), and fluid dynamics (fluids in motion). When a fluid is flowing in the x-direction parallel to a solid surface, the fluid has x-directed momentum, and its concentration is υ x ρ .

  6. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Two-plane, or dynamic, balancing is necessary if the out-of-balance couple at speed needs to be balanced. The second plane used is in the opposite wheel. Two-plane, or dynamic, balancing of a locomotive wheel set is known as cross-balancing. [11] Cross-balancing was not recommended by the American Railway Association until 1931.

  7. Statics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statics

    Hydrostatics, also known as fluid statics, is the study of fluids at rest (i.e. in static equilibrium). The characteristic of any fluid at rest is that the force exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same at all points at the same depth (or altitude) within the fluid.

  8. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    In physics, physical chemistry and engineering, fluid dynamics is a subdiscipline of fluid mechanics that describes the flow of fluids – liquids and gases.It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics (the study of air and other gases in motion) and hydrodynamics (the study of water and other liquids in motion).

  9. Hydrostatics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatics

    Fluid statics or hydrostatics is the branch of fluid mechanics that studies fluids at hydrostatic equilibrium [1] and "the pressure in a fluid or exerted by a fluid on an immersed body". [ 2 ] It encompasses the study of the conditions under which fluids are at rest in stable equilibrium as opposed to fluid dynamics , the study of fluids in motion.
