Unreferenced date December 2007 A hydraulic manifold is a component that regulates fluid flow between pump s and actuator s and other components in a hydraulic system. It is like a Electric switchboard switchboard in an electrical circuit because it lets the operator control how much fluid flows between which components of a hydraulic machinery. For example, in a backhoe loader a manifold turns on or shuts off or diverts flow to the telescopic arms of the front bucket and the back bucket. The manifold is connected to the levers in the operator s cabin which the operator uses to achieve the desired manifold behaviour. A manifold is composed of assorted hydraulic valves connected to each other. It is the various combinations of states of these valves that allow complex control behaviour in a manifold.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In hydraulics hydraulic systems, a fuse is a component which prevents the sudden loss of hydraulic fluid fluid pressure pressure . It is a safety feature, designed to allow systems to continue operating, or at least to not fail catastrophically, in the event of a system breach. It does this by stopping the flow of hydraulic fluid through itself if the flow exceeds a threshold. The term fuse is used here in analogy with fuse electrical electrical fuses which perform a similar function. Hydraulic systems rely on high pressures usually over 7000 kPa to work properly. If a hydraulic system loses fluid pressure, it will become inoperative and components such as actuator s may collapse. This is an undesirable condition in life critical system s such as aircraft or heavy machinery. Hydraulic fuses help guard against catastrophic failure of a hydraulic system for instance, by line breakage or component failure by automatically isolating the defective branch. When a hydraulic system is damaged, there is generally a rapid flow of hydraulic fluid towards the breach. Most hydraulic fuses detect this flow and seal themselves if the flow exceeds a predetermined limit. There are many different fuse designs but most involve a passive spring controlled mechanism which closes when the pressure differential across the fuse becomes excessive. Types There are two types of hydraulic fuses. The first one acts like a pressure relief valve , venting in case of a pressure ... area and stops fluid from venting forward of it. Hydraulic fuses are not a perfect solution to fluid loss. They will probably be ineffective against slow, seeping loss of hydraulic fluid, and they may ... breaches to hydraulic lines.

A hydraulic circuit is a system comprising an interconnected set of discrete components that transport liquid . The purpose of this system may be to control where fluid flows as in a network of tubes of coolant in a thermodynamic system or to control fluid pressure as in hydraulic amplifiers . The approach of describing a fluid system in terms of discrete components is inspired by the success of electrical circuit theory . Just as electric circuit theory works when elements are discrete and linear, hydraulic circuit theory works best when the elements passive component such as pipes or transmission lines or active components such as power packs or pumps are discrete and linear.

Refimprove date September 2007 A hydraulic bicycle is a chainless bicycle that transfers power to the pedals by means of a liquid passing through tubes from hydraulic pump to hydraulic motor and back. Advantages include Shifting, through valves and displacement, provides either continuously variable gearing or more steps than traditional bicycles. Shifts smoothly under full power. Drive transmits power while pedaling forward and backward. Thus racers can power bicycle through turns by alternating short forward and backward pedal strokes. No slack or backlash occurs, in either direction. Ability to coast is maintained. Mechanism is clean and operates silently. Fewer moving parts about 10 vs over 70 , all of which are continuously bathed in clean lubricating fluid. Sealed systems require less maintenance than open chain system. Front wheel drive and two wheel drive systems can be implemented. See Two wheel drive Two wheeled vehicles Two wheel drive Drive can double as a hydraulic brake, eliminating the weight, cost, and maintenance of regular brakes. The hydraulic hydrostatic transmission could be useful for recumbent bicycle s because the hoses may be easier to route than a long chain. Energy recuperation, storage and power assist could be added. Disadvantages include Implementations to date are heavier than those of bicycle chain and sprocket designs.

The hydraulic diameter, D sub H sub , is a commonly used term when handling Fluid dynamics flow in noncircular tubes and channels. Using this term one can calculate many things in the same way as for a circle round tube.

For a round tube, this checks as math D H frac 4 frac pi D 2 4 pi D D math The Manning formula contains a quantity called the hydraulic radius . Despite what the name may suggest, the hydraulic diameter is not twice the hydraulic radius, but four times. For an Annulus mathematics annulus the hydraulic diameter is math D H frac 4 cdot 0.25 pi D o 2 D i 2 pi D o D i D o D i math and for a rectangular duct, if completely filled with fluid math D H frac 4 L W 2 L W frac 2LW L W math And for a rectangular duct, if partly filled with fluid math D H frac 4 L W 2L W math For the special case of a square duct, where L W , then D sub H sub L . For the other limiting case of a very wide duct, i.e. a slot of width W where L W , then D sub H sub 2 W . For a fully filled duct or pipe whose cross section is a regular polygon , the hydraulic diameter is equivalent to the diameter of a circle inscribed within the wetted perimeter . Hydraulic diameter is mainly used for calculations involving turbulent flow . secondary flow Secondary flows can be observed in non circular ducts as a result of turbulent shear stress in the turbulent flow. These secondary flows force the fluid into the corners of the pipe. When the flow is Laminar flow laminar , secondary flows do not occur, and therefore the entire cross section of the pipe is not filled. This will result in errors in calculations.

orphan date December 2007 Hydraulic tomography HT is a sequential cross hole hydraulic test followed by inversion of all the data to map the spatial distribution of aquifer hydraulic properties. Specifically, HT involves installation of multiple Water well wells in an aquifer, which are partitioned into several intervals along the depth using packers. A sequential aquifer test at selected intervals is then conducted. During the test, water is injected or withdrawn i.e., a pressure excitation at a selected interval in a given well. Pressure responses of the subsurface are then monitored at other intervals at this well and other wells. This test produces a set of pressure excitation response data of the subsurface. Once a test is completed, the pump is moved to another interval and the test is repeated to collect another set of data. The same procedure is then applied to the intervals at other wells. Afterward, the data sets from all tests are processed by a mathematical model to estimate the spatial distribution of hydraulic properties of the aquifer. These pairs of pumping and drawdown data sets at different locations make an inverse problem better posed since each pair cross validates the others such that the estimates become less non unique. In other words, predictions of ground water flow based on the HT estimates will be more accurate and less uncertain than those based on estimates from traditional site characterization approaches and model calibration s.
