  2. Car hydraulics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_hydraulics

    In 1979, Japan received a shipment of Low rider magazines, which showed on the cover a lowered Chevy in front of Mount Fuji. This magazine, Orlie's Lowriding Magazine, was a profitable magazine that advertised lowriders and hydraulic kits for their consumers. [4] Along with these magazines came mail-order forms to purchase automotive hydraulics ...

  3. Lowrider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lowrider

    A lowrider or low rider is a customized car with a lowered body that emerged among Mexican American youth in the 1940s. [3] Lowrider also refers to the driver of the car and their participation in lowrider car clubs , which remain a part of Chicano culture and have since expanded internationally.

  4. Telescopic cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_cylinder

    Single acting telescopic cylinders are the simplest and most common design. As with a single acting rod style cylinder, the single acting telescopic cylinder is extended using hydraulic or pneumatic pressure but retracts using external forces when the fluid medium is removed and relieved to the reservoir.

  5. Pipe network analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_network_analysis

    In fluid dynamics, pipe network analysis is the analysis of the fluid flow through a hydraulics network, containing several or many interconnected branches. The aim is to determine the flow rates and pressure drops in the individual sections of the network. This is a common problem in hydraulic design.

  6. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    From the geometry shown in the diagram above, the following variables are defined: rod length (distance between piston pin and crank pin) crank radius (distance between crank center and crank pin, i.e. half stroke) crank angle (from cylinder bore centerline at TDC)

  7. Fluid coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_coupling

    The hydraulic fluid is directed by the 'pump' whose shape forces the flow in the direction of the 'output turbine' (or driven torus [a]). Here, any difference in the angular velocities of 'input stage' and 'output stage' result in a net force on the 'output turbine' causing a torque; thus causing it to rotate in the same direction as the pump.

  8. Linear actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_actuator

    Hydraulic actuators or hydraulic cylinders typically involve a hollow cylinder having a piston inserted in it. An unbalanced pressure applied to the piston generates a force that can move an external object. Since liquids are nearly incompressible, a hydraulic cylinder can provide controlled precise linear displacement of the piston. The ...

  9. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.
