Fluid Dynamics

The study of the flow of gases and liquids, usually in and around solid surfaces, is known as fluid dynamics in physics and engineering. Fluid dynamics, for example, can be used to evaluate the movement of air through an airplane wing or the surface of a…

The purpose of the master cylinder is to ______. a. generate the hydraulic pressure needed to apply the brake mechanisms b. automatically pump the brakes during panic stops c. supply mechanical force to the brake mechanisms d. All the answers are correct. The purpose of a pressure differential valve is being discussed. Technician A says it alerts the driver if pressure is lost in either portion of a dual braking system. Technician B says it provides the needed pressure balance between the front and rear brakes. Who is correct? a. A only b. B only c. both A and B d. neither A nor B In a diagonal split brake system, how would the vehicle brake in the event of a failure? a. One front wheel and its rear wheel will brake. b. One front wheel and the opposite rear wheel will brake. c. Only the front wheels will brake. d. All four wheels will have half the total braking force.

When replacing brake pads on a vehicle: Technician A works on one wheel before beginning work on an-other. Technician B uses a minimum of 52 psi of air pressure to force the piston from the caliper housing. Who is correct?

When performing the air brake system leakage test, the Certified Inspector must reject the vehicle if the system does not maintain 100 P.S.I. (Perform this test for 1 minute with the brakes fully applied & the engine running on single and/ or combination vehicles). True or False?
