Hydraulic redistribution is a passive mechanism where water is transported from moist to dry soils via subterranean networks. [1] It occurs in vascular plants that commonly have roots in both wet and dry soils, especially plants with both taproots that grow vertically down to the water table, and lateral roots that sit close to the surface.
Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...
A simple open center hydraulic circuit. An excavator; main hydraulics: Boom cylinders, swing drive, cooler fan, and trackdrive Fundamental features of using hydraulics compared to mechanics for force and torque increase/decrease in a transmission. Hydraulic machines use liquid fluid power to perform work. Heavy construction vehicles are a ...
Hydraulic lift may refer to: A type of hydraulic machinery. Hydraulic elevator; A form of hydraulic redistribution, a plant phenomenon
Hydraulic signaling is fast and effective because of the cohesion and tension properties of water. [1] Hydraulic signals can be propagated downward or upward, relaying water potential gradients throughout the entire plant. Hydraulic signals can be sensed in a few ways all relating to how an increase in water potential affects the plants.
The most common lift table design incorporates hydraulic cylinders and an electrically powered pump to actuate the scissor lifting mechanism. Lift tables can also be driven by pneumatic sources, trapezoidal-threaded screw drives, push chains or by hydraulic foot pump when the load is not heavy. The choice of drive mechanism depends on factors ...
Stoplogs of a hydro power plant which can close the water flow to the turbine. Stoplogs are modular in nature, giving the operator of a gated structure the ability to control the water level in a channel by adding or removing individual stoplogs. A gate may make use of one or more logs.
The word plant, in this context, has come to mean any type of industrial equipment, including mobile equipment (e.g. in the same sense as powerplant). However, plant originally meant "structure" or "establishment" – usually in the sense of factory or warehouse premises; as such, it was used in contradistinction to movable machinery, often in ...
