The principles of fluid dynamics play a core role in the design of hydraulic oil hoses.

When designing hydraulic oil hoses, the flow rate, viscosity and pipe diameter of the oil must be considered to optimize the flow state and reduce energy loss.
Calculation of friction loss
The friction loss of hydraulic oil hoses is closely related to the flow state, pipe length, diameter and properties of the oil. Friction loss can usually be calculated by the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which takes into account factors such as pipe roughness, flow rate and pipe diameter. When designing oil hoses, choosing the right pipe diameter can effectively reduce friction loss. The higher the flow rate, the greater the friction loss, so it is crucial to maintain a reasonable flow rate and pipe diameter while meeting system requirements.
Pressure loss and system efficiency
In hydraulic systems, pressure loss mainly occurs in pipes and various connectors. The principles of fluid dynamics point out that the flow resistance in the pipe will cause pressure drop, which needs to be accurately calculated during design to ensure that the system operates stably at the required working pressure. Control of pressure loss is crucial to improving system efficiency. When designing, it is necessary to minimize unnecessary elbows, valves and connectors to reduce flow resistance.
Consideration of thermal effects
The temperature change of the fluid will affect its viscosity, and the change of viscosity will directly affect the flow state and friction loss. In a high temperature environment, the viscosity of the liquid usually decreases and the fluidity increases; while in a low temperature environment, the viscosity increases and the fluidity decreases. Therefore, when designing a hydraulic oil hose, the flow characteristics of the liquid at different temperatures should be considered to ensure that the system can maintain good fluidity and efficiency under various working conditions.
