Fluid Power

Fluid Power Test Questions:
  • Your assignment is to write a test-style question which covers each of the 4 fluid power laws.
  • 1 problem per page.
  • You MUST include a word-problem type description for the problem as well as a diagram.
  • Use plain white printer paper of a self-made digital printout for the diagram.
  • There must be some sort of mathematical calculation.
  • Make it a multi-part question for extra credit.
  • There must be at least one question using the metric system units, and one question using the standard system units.
  • You must also include a solution to your problem.
  • This is NOT an easy assignment.
  • It is due Thursday

Tuesday - Still no Howard

Top-o-the-morning to ya!



To start off today, we're going to have a short quiz. Please answer the following questions WITHOUT AN INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE!!!

FOR THIS QUIZ, PLEASE WRITE YOUR ANSWERS ON A PIECE OF PAPER AND TURN IN TO THE SUBSTITUTE ME.
  1. Compare and contrast conduction and convection.
  2. Draw a diagram which illustrates conduction in action, draw a diagram which illustrates convection.
  3. List 6 types of energy.
  4. Define the following
  • Viscosity
  • Diaphragm
  • Reciprocating
  • Hydraulic Fluid
  • Centrifugal
You have about 15 minutezs to complete the quiz.



AFTER THE QUIZ...
  • Study the following Fluid Power Laws
  • Bernoulli's Law
  • Boyle's Law
  • Charles's Law
  • Pascal's Law
  • Here are my notes on the laws...
  • Your assignment is to write a test-style question which covers each of the 4 fluid power laws.
