Why should brake fluid not be filled above the full or MAX level as indicated on the master cylinder reservoir?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain the reason why brake fluid should not be filled above the MAX level as displayed on the master cylinder reservoir.

Explanation of Solution

Brake fluid is generally used to transfer the foot force of a driver to the brake pedal. The brake pedal is stated as service brake in accordance with each individual wheel brake. The brake fluid should not be allowed to fill above the maximum limit as displayed on the master cylinder reservoir for the specified conditions.

The overfilling of the brake fluid should be avoided as the brake fluid becomes hotter when the brakes are applied. It is suggested to have a space in the master cylinder reservoir for the brake fluid to enlarge. Thus, the brake fluid should be filled up to the stated level with respect to the specified conditions.

Q. After a puncture a driver is attempting to remove a wheel nut by applying a force of P KN to one end of a wheel brace as shown in Fig. 1. In cross-section the brace is a hollow steel tube (see section aa) of internal diameter r mm and external diameter q mm. wheel nut n Position S P m r q Section aa Fig, 1 (a) Calculate (i) the twisting moment, (ii) the bending moment, and (iii) the shear force in the brace at position S due to the applied load P. (b) Calculate (i) the shear stress due to twisting, and (ii) the bending stress at position S. Note that the shear force will not produce any shear stress at S. (c) Calculate the maximum shearing stress in the brace at position S using the Maximum Shear Stress Criterion. 2 Mechanics of Materials 2 Tutorials Portfolio: Exercise 5 (d) If the maximum permissible shear stress in the steel is 200 MPa, determine the maximum torque that can be applied by the brace without the risk of failure at S.

Refrigerant-134a is expanded isentropically from 600 kPa and 70°C at the inlet of a steady-flow turbine to 100 kPa at the outlet. The outlet area is 1 m2, and the inlet area is 0.5 m2. Calculate the inlet and outlet velocities when the mass flow rate is 0.65 kg/s. Use the tables for R-134a.   The inlet velocity is  m/s.   The outlet velocity is  m/s.
