  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.

  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. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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.

  9. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy, Pressurized fluid is controlled and directed by valves into an actuator device such as a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, to provide linear motion, or a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, to provide rotary motion or torque.
