  2. Brake fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid

    Old brake fluid container Brake fluid reservoir in a Škoda Fabia I A tell-tale symbol indicating low brake fluid level. Brake fluid is a type of hydraulic fluid used in hydraulic brake and hydraulic clutch applications in automobiles, motorcycles, light trucks, and some bicycles. It is used to transfer force into pressure, and to amplify ...

  3. Hydraulic fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fluid

    Brake fluid is a subtype of hydraulic fluid with high boiling point, both when new (specified by the equilibrium boiling point) and after absorption of water vapor (specified by wet boiling point). Under the heat of braking, both free water and water vapor in a braking system can boil into a compressible vapor, resulting in brake failure. [7]

  4. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    The bract's hygroscopic bending is due to the differing cell orientations of its inner and outer epidermides, causing adaxial–abaxial force gradients between opposing sides that change with moisture; thus, the aggregate hygrometric force, in whorl unison, controls the capitulum's repetitive opening and closing.

  5. Skydrol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skydrol

    Skydrol fluids are extremely irritating to human tissue. Gloves and goggles are recommended safety equipment when servicing Skydrol systems. If the fluid gets on the skin it creates an itchy, red rash with a persistent burning sensation. The effects subside within a few hours; egg white can be applied to the affected area to neutralize the ...

  6. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

    Water which enters brake lines, even in small amounts, will react with most common brake fluids (i.e., those which are hygroscopic [8] [9]) causing the formation of deposits which can clog the brake lines and reservoir. It is almost impossible to completely seal any brake system from exposure to water, which means that regular changing out of ...

  7. Brake bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_bleeding

    Brake bleeding is the procedure performed on hydraulic brake systems whereby the brake lines (the pipes and hoses containing the brake fluid) are purged of any air bubbles. This is necessary because, while the brake fluid is an incompressible liquid , air bubbles are compressible gas and their presence in the brake system greatly reduces the ...

  8. Hygroscopic cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopic_cycle

    The hygroscopic effect of salts is well known and used in Absorption refrigerators where heat is used for refrigeration. In these machines, the refrigerant is absorbed-dissolved into another fluid (a hygroscopic fluid), reducing its partial pressure in the evaporator and allowing more liquid to evaporate. In the hygroscopic cycle, the gas ...

  9. Hygrometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

    The hair is hygroscopic (tending toward retaining moisture); its length changes with humidity, and the length change may be magnified by a mechanism and indicated on a dial or scale. Swiss physicist and geologist Horace Bénédict de Saussure was the first to build such a hygrometer, in 1783.
