Radiator fluid cools the engine, lubricates the water pump, heats the vehicle in winter, and cools the engine in summer. Antifreeze is recommended over water for efficiency, and on diesel engines, a heater keeps the fluid warm. The radiator also cools transmission fluid and intercooler air. Radiator fluid, commonly called coolant, is responsible for several […]
Metalworking fluids are used to lubricate, cool, and clean metal workpieces during machining. They can be petroleum-based, water-based, or synthetic and are used in high-volume or high-speed machines. However, exposure to these fluids can cause health problems such as skin irritation and respiratory complications. Safe handling precautions should be taken, including using protective clothing and […]
Drilling fluids, also known as drilling muds, are used during drilling operations to maintain borehole stability, remove drilled material, control pressures, and cool and lubricate the bit. They can be liquid or gaseous, with water and oil-based solutions being the most common. Petroleum-based fluids are used for higher lubrication and heat generation, while gaseous fluids […]
The human body contains intracellular and extracellular fluids, both of which contain electrolytes essential for the nervous system and muscles. Imbalances can lead to serious illness or death. The kidneys and lungs help regulate fluid and electrolyte levels, and osmosis maintains balance. The body needs to maintain a healthy concentration of fluids and electrolytes between […]
Fluid power engineers use pressurized fluids to transmit and control power in industries such as robotics, aerospace, and construction. They typically complete four years of specialized college education and attend internships and advanced training courses to improve job prospects. A bachelor’s degree in science, such as mechanical or civil engineering, is usually required. Internships after […]
