Force - A push or pull acting upon a body. In a hydraulic cylinder, it is the product of the pressure on the fluid, multiplied by the effective area of the cylinder piston. It is measured in pounds or tons. Friction - The resistance to fluid flow in a hy- draulic system.
temperature increase The pressure of a contained sample of gas can be increased by increasing its temperature, or by decreasing its volume, or by injecting additional mas â¦ s into it.
Pressure. Increasing the pressure of a reaction improves the likelihood reactants will interact with each other, thus increases the rate of the reaction. As you would expect, this factor is important for reactions involving gases, and not a significant factor with liquids and solids.
