Properties 8 through 16 are important considerations in the selection of a hydraulic fluid for a specific application, but numerical values associated with these properties are not usually required in system design.The types of hydraulic fluid considered to be most applicable to air vehic

Temperature andn pressure, in particular, have significan
23、t influences on fluid viscosity and bulk modulus. The detail designer requires data for specific operating conditions, but these data are often not readily available. This results in designers acquiring, through various means, a personal file of hydraulic fluid properties. The intent of this documen
24、t is to encourage the use of standardized design information. Fluid specifications provide for variations in properties which can result from diferences in manufacturing processes or base stocks used. The data presented herein are considered to be nominal values.4. HYDRAULIC FLUID PROPERTIES:4.1 Bul
25、k Modulus:Bulk modulus is a term used to denote the ability of a fluid to resist volumetric reduction caused by applied pressure and is an important parameter in the design of hydraulic servo systems. Interaction of fluid compressibility with the mass of the mechanical parts and load produces a natu
26、ral frequency in hydraulic systems. This resonance is often the chief limitation to dynamic performance and is approximately proportional to the square root of the fluid bulk modulus. Pressure is generally measured as gauge pressure while all equations in this document use absolute pressure.4.1.1 Th
27、ere are several different types of bulk moduli; selection of the proper modulus is based on the function being performed. Functions that occur rapidly, with little chance for heat transfer into or out of the system, require adiabatic moduli; examples include hydraulic pumps, motors, and rapidly osci
28、llating servo actuators. Functions that occur slowly or with constant fluid temperature require isothermal moduli; this modulus has limited application to air vehicle hydraulic systems. Pressure excursion magnitude is also a factor in modulus selection. Large excursions, for example in pumps and mot
29、ors, require the use of secant moduli; small pressure fluctuations around a quiescent level, as in oscillating servo actuators, require the use of tangent moduli. Bulk modulus is the reciprocal of fluid compressibility and is generally expressed in Pascal (Pa). The most commonly used moduli are summ

Equation 2 defines a “mean“ bulk modulus and represents the volumetric change with pressure from atmospheric to the pressure of “interest“.Both moduli can be determined under isothermal or adiabatic conditions.Two methods used for measuring bulk modulus are the pressure-volume-temperature method

Dissolved air has a minor effect in reducing bulk modulus. The amoun
37、t of air which can be dissolved in hydraulic fluids is approximately proportional to the pressure level. The time required to achieve equilibrium conditions may prevent complete dissolution in some cases. Generally, when the operating pressure exceeds the saturation pressure, bulk modulus degradatio

Fluid viscosity nearly always limits the
40、lowest operating temperature of a hydraulic system and often limits the highest operating temperature. Fluid systems and components have conflicting viscosity requirements, i.e., good lubrication and low internal leakage require a moderately high viscosity while low line losses and fast control resp
41、onse dictate a low viscosity fluid. Good design requires a thorough consideration of the effects of operating conditions on viscosity and the efect of viscosity variations on system performance.TABLE 4Figure No. Bulk Modulus Hydraulic Fluid1 adiabatic tangent MIL-H-56062 MIL-H-84463 MIL-PRF-276014 M

For Newton
44、ian fluids the shear stress is proportional to the velocity gradient across a given sheared section. For the non-Newtonian fluids the shear stress is not proportional to the velocity gradient.The shear equation for Newtonian fluids is as follows:(Eq. 4)where: = Shear stress, Pa = Absolute viscosity,

This ratio is, by definition, the kinematic viscosity of the fluid.(Eq. 6)where: = Kinematic viscosity, mm2/s or centi-Stoke (cSt) = Absolute viscosity, mPa.s or cP (centi-Poise) = Mass density, g/cm3Kinematic viscosity at
