Energy in hot fluid transfers away, fluid contracts becoming more dense, and the fluid flows downward again.

This fluid transfer is accomplished by a connecting tube and/or hose from one hydraulic cylinder (often called the master cylinder) to another (located at the brakes of each wheel).

A team of geologists and geophysicists using the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Photon Source has shed light on a fluid transfer in the middle continental crust, a phenomenon that was formerly poorly understood.

Fortunately, the pressure of the contained fluid transfers through the essentially incompressible O-ring material, and the contact stress rises with increasing pressure.

A Banjo fitting (also called an internally relieved bolt) comprises a perforated hollow bolt and spherical union for fluid transfer.

This fluid transfer causes a weight imbalance, which causes the wheel to rotate.

The project hoped to demonstrate several satellite servicing operations and technologies including rendezvous, proximity operations and station keeping, capture, docking, fluid transfer (specifically, hydrazine on this mission), and ORU (Orbit Replaceable Unit) transfer.

It is not transmissible between humans, except presumably through fluid transfer, so patient isolation is not required.

Plasson Industries Ltd. is a global manufacturer of plastic fittings for plastic pipes used in water distribution systems, gas conveyance systems, industrial fluid transfer and wastewater systems, and mines.
