Definition of a fluid
Properties of fluids• Unable to support shear stresses• Take on the shape of the container
A continuous, amorphous substance whose molecules move freely past one another and that has the tendency to assume the shape of its container; a liquid or gas.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/fluid

Hydrostatic Pressure
• When an object placed in a fluid, the fluid exerts a pressure over the entire surface of the object• The pressure acts at 90o to the surface of the object at any point
Pressure, P (Pa) = F = Force (N) A Area (m2)

Hydrostatic Pressure and Depth
Rule: The deeper an object is submerged, the greater the hydrostatic pressure
Hydrostatic Pressure Depth RelationshipGiven the pressure at the surface, Po (in Pa), the pressure (in Pa) at depth, h ( in m) is:
P = Po + ρghwhere
ρ = density of the fluid (a constant - kgm-3)g = acceleration due to gravity (ms-2)

Pascal's Principle• Pressure applied to an enclosed liquid is transmitted undiminished to every point in the fluid and to the walls of the container
• Commonly used in sealed hydraulic systems, e.g. automotive braking systems

Archimedes Principle• When immersed in water an object will weigh less than in air
• Water provides an upward force (buoyancy) that partially counteracts the weight force
• If the upward force by the water on an object is greater than the weight force, the object floats
Factors that effect buoyancy• The density of the fluid
• The volume of the submerged object

A body wholly or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body
As Archimedes put it ....
This is independent of the composition or shape of the object

Specific Gravity
Using Archimedes Principle, an object's specific gravity can be calculated
Specific Gravity = Weight of object in air Weight of object when submerged in water

Brakes used on Trains• The braking systems on trains are based on a different "fluid" - namely compressed air
• In 1869, George Westinghouse developed a braking system that used compressed air to hold the brake shoe off the wheels of the carriages
• To apply the brake the air is released, (or the pressure fails), and the bakes are immediately activated
• The method of braking is used with trains as a safety feature and is still used today

Innovation in Braking Systems - ABS or Anti-lock
Braking System
Why was it developed?
• When a vehicle brakes suddenly, the wheels typically lock and the vehicle skids
• A skidding vehicle has less traction than a turning wheel and as a result the driver has less control of the vehicle
• If the wheels can be prevented from skidding, the driver will be able to:
• Stop faster
• Have some control over the vehicle when the brakes are applied

ABS or Anti-lock Braking SystemComponents of ABS ?
• Speed sensors - located in wheels. Detect when the wheels are about to lock
• ABS Controlled Valve - located in the brake line. The valve has three possible positions:
1. Open - pressure from the master cylinder is passed directly to the brake2. Closed - The brake line is closed off from the master cylinder. Prevents increase in brake pressure if the brake is pressed harder3. Release - some (not all) pressure is released from the brake
• Pump - Restores pressure in the brake line sfter the valve has been activated
• Controller - a computer that monitors the speed sensors and controls the valves

How do the speed sensors work - Step 1ABS speed sensors, mounted in the vehicle's wheel hubs constantly monitor the rotation of each wheel to determine if the ABS needs to override manual braking of the vehicle.The speed sensors calculate
* revolutions of wheels as well as * evaluating the continuity between all wheels.
If any differences are detected in rotation, the ABS is activated to control braking.

How do the speed sensors work - Step 2Generating the Speed Sensor SignalSpeed sensors are made of:
A magnet wrapped in a coil and A toothed sensor ring mounted around the CV joint hub.
When contact is made between the toothed ring and magnet, an electrical field is given off forming a signal. The signal includes measurements of the number of pulses per second created by the electrical field existing between the magnet coil and sensor ring. After conversion into digital form the signal is transmitted to the ABS controller.

How do the speed sensors work - Step 3Sending Messages to the ABS ControllerThis signal is passed along to the controller which counts the number of pulses. This is used to determine wheel speed.The ABS uses this data to determine whether it should intercede to control braking
