Fluid flow friction factors serve as a cornerstone in understanding and predicting the resistance encountered by fluids moving through conduits. These dimensionless parameters are essential in both ...

It is well known that friction between lubricated surfaces is a chief source of energy losses in fluid power systems. Now, help is on the way due to research taking place within the Engineering ...

(Nanowerk News) For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water flows through the tiny passages of carbon nanotubes — pipes with walls that can be just one atom thick. The ...

• Excessive seal friction wastes energy, accelerates wear, and can lead to premature failure. • Too little friction makes a seal prone to leak. • Pressure-activated hydraulic seals minimize both ...

Editor’s note: The Basics department this month is an excerpt from the ISA book Flow of Industrial Fluids – Theory and Equations by Raymond Mulley. Some material in this section may seem self-evident ...

Imagine walking from one side of a swimming pool to the other. Each step takes great effort -- that's what makes water aerobics such effective physical exercise. Imagine walking from one side of a ...

Lifetime transmission fluid claims are marketing lies that lead to $5,000 rebuilds when fluid changes every 30K-60K miles cost just $150-$300.

The C4 three-speed automatic is the most common transmission used in vintage Mustangs. Known as the Cruise-O-Matic from '64-1/2-'66 and Select-Shift from '67-'82, this simple hydraulic slush box, of ...

1.1 What is friction? Take this everyday example: when a coffee mug rests on a flat table, the kinetic frictional force is zero. There is no force trying to move the mug across the table, so there is ...

For 15 years, scientists have been baffled by the mysterious way water flows through the tiny passages of carbon nanotubes — pipes with walls that can be just one atom thick. The streams have ...
