Fluid Power Systems Chapter 1 quiz

Hydraulics and phnuematics

Static(Potentional) energy

Stored energy ready to use

Thermal Energy

Heat to make a particle/molecule move faster

Mechanical Energy

Machine energy (Pulleys, belts, linkages)

Kinetic Energy

Energy of motion; any moving object

Electrical Energy

Flow of electrons from atom to atoms

Sound Energy

Transmitted vibration that can be sensed with human ear

Energy

Used to move object (Capacity to do work)

In fluid power system, the static energy of a liquid or gas is reffered to as

Hydrostatic fluid power

The operation of fluid power systems is based on variables such as,

Force, area, and pressure

Pascals law

Fluid power law that states when a force is applied to a continued fluid, the force is felt throughout the fluid undiminished
