As the motor speed increases, however, the efficiency improves, reaching a peak at a certain point before tapering off again at very high speeds. Interestingly, the mechanical efficiency of the fluids tested was similar at high speeds, likely due to the role of...
If a fluid has a low traction coefficient, it requires less energy to shear the fluid film between two moving surfaces. This reduction in energy consumption can have a direct effect on the efficiency of the hydraulic motor, particularly at low speeds, where frictional...
