What is the most probable cause of a low fluid level?

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The probable cause of a low fluid level.

Explanation of Solution

Low fluid level can be caused due to the following reasons:

  1. Low fluid level can be caused by error present in the drivetrain.
  2. It can be caused by the presence of any cracks in the hydraulic circuit. Presence of any leakage in the gasket.
  3. If there is any leakage near the seals.
  4. Oil pan seal leakage can cause low fluid level.
  5. It can be caused by any leakage around the bolts and mounting.
  6. If there is any leakage present in extension housing.

During some actual expansion and compression processes in piston–cylinder devices, the gases have been observed to satisfy the relationship PVn = C, where n and C are constants. Calculate the work done when a gas expands from 350 kPa and 0.03 m3 to a final volume of 0.2 m3 for the case of n = 1.5.   The work done in this case is  kJ.
Carbon dioxide contained in a piston–cylinder device is compressed from 0.3 to 0.1 m3. During the process, the pressure and volume are related by P = aV–2, where a = 6 kPa·m6. Calculate the work done on carbon dioxide during this process.   The work done on carbon dioxide during this process is  kJ.
