Fracking — or hydraulic fracturing — is a process in which rocks are deliberately fractured to release oil or gas by injecting highly pressurised fluid into a borehole.

More hydraulic fluid is pumped into the lower compartment, which raises the piston and in turn compresses the water — only a little, though, because water is highly resistant to compression.

As the child grows and the spine expands, doctors would send a wireless signal to adjust the implant — which has been tested in sheep but is at least three years away from human trials — opening a valve that moves fluid from the implant's reservoir into the piston to increase the implant's hydraulic pressure.

Modeling changes in the observed harmonic frequencies indicates that the spectral characteristics of seismic data can provide important information about hydraulic fracture geometry and fluid pressure at depth, leading to important insights into subglacial hydrologic processes.

When hydraulic fracturing or «fracking» to access unconventional oil and gas reserves was a hot topic in the fossil fuel industry, Ryerson was tapped to lead a team to develop GEOS — a dynamic computational rock mechanics and hydrologic tool — that can model facture propagation, resulting seismic signals and pressure - driven fluid flow through a rock mass.

However, other mechanisms such as fluid withdrawal, enhanced oil recovery, or hydraulic fracturing processes can also result in induced earthquakes.»

Check the brakes - Disks will have at least a coating of surface rust, but make sure the hydraulics work properly and tyhat none of the cylinders have siezed and that the seals are in good condition (check carefully for fluid leaks around all the flexi hoses and cylinder seals - if in doubt, replace)

(Provided your car has an hydraulic clutch actuator) The brake fluid in the clutch actuator lines needs to be replaced (Often overlooked as it is a separate circuit).

At that temperature I would be more concerned about the viscosity of the grease in the clutch disc splines, rather than the brake «hydraulic» fluid.

In the realm of agricultural tractors there exists the so called «STOU» - oil, it can be used as engine oil, transmission fluid and hydraulic fluid.

When the car is in D and you start the engine the hydraulic pump in the automatic transmission is not providing fluid pressure until the engine starts.

It draws fluid from a sump in the bottom of the transmission and feeds it to the hydraulic system.

Because the power steering system in most cars today is hydraulic, seals are used to prevent fluid from leaking out and to reduce the potential of debris being introduced to the mechanical parts that drive the power steering system.

In a hydraulic power steering system, fluid is pumped through a series of lines and hoses to the steering rack which moves as the driver turns the steering wheel to the left or right.

Brake fluid maintains the hydraulic pressure in your brake system, and without it, brake failure is a high possibility.

The lack of fluid will cause the hydraulic pressure in the system to drop and you may notice the steering becoming a bit more stiff when turning the wheel.

The original power steering systems use a hydraulic pump to move fluid into chambers in your steering system.

This type of problem is amplified any time the transmission is low on fluid creating a drop in hydraulic pressure.

The brake system uses pressure from hydraulic fluid to operate these components, applied to the piston in the Ford brake caliper.

A leak in the hydraulic system can cause the Ford brake caliper to operate less efficiently, leaving it without enough fluid pressure to cause the brake pads to move into contact with the brake disc, or to retract away from the disc when the brake is released.

Conequence: The loss of hydraulic fluid may prevent the vehicle from shifting out of the gear that it is in.

Answer: The ECT mode (it stands for «Electronically Controlled Transmission,» and it supposedly «learns» the owner's driving style and adjusts shift points to match that style) is likely masking the real problem by increasing the fluid pressure via the electronic - pressure solenoid — in other words, it sounds as though you have a hydraulic - pressure loss.

The braking system in your vehicle uses a pressurized flow of hydraulic fluid to apply pressure to a piston in the Chrysler brake caliper, causing it to squeeze the brake pads into contact with the brake disc.
