[i]I don’t wish to continue the debate with the`brakes for too long guys, but there is`still some misunderstanding of hydraulics which is a very compl perex subject when you get into it. However, eneregy transfer must also be considered as well as fluid pressure, this is `why some brake pipes are a larger diameter than others, take a look at ABS modulators, compare the pipes you will see what I mean.[/i]
[i]If you look at Air braking systems you will notice the pipes have a larger diameter,they operate at a much lower pressure than hydraulics, but are considered much safer because of that fact.[/i]
[i]Back to our hydraulics, larger diameters produce lower pressure, fluid in a braking system ideally should not move,its the energy transfer we want to work the brakes, not fluid movement. [/i]
[i]When two brake calipers or cylinders across an axle have a different diameter to each other, then fluid ideally does not move, the pressure created generates energy to do work, the smaller diameter will do work faster because there is less area to do work in, the larger area will generate less energy per unit time so the reaction will be slower,hence smaller diameter smaller area increased working pressure,faster reaction.[/i]
[i]Sorry for delay in response, my computer failed, have had to borrow one until new one arrives.[/i]
