ABSTRACT
A brakes is a device that uses friction to i stop i or slow down the motion of a vehicle. This resistance is achieved by the conversion of kineticienergy in to heat energy, which is expended in to the atmosphere. iThe amount of friction generated is dependention factors such as the nature of contacting materials, smoothness of their surfaces, and the pressure that keeps them together. Braking systems may be categorized according to the different requirements and functions of an automobile. According to the power source that drives the pedal force to implement braking, six (6) types of braking systems viz. mechanical braking isystem, electric braking system, magnetic braking system, hydraulic braking system, air or pneumatic braking system, and vacuum braking system. Because of its high efficiency and brake force generating capacity, the hydraulic braking system is used in nearly allicars and bikes on their oad today. The operation of the hydraulic braking system is based on Pascal's principle, which states that the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is distributed equally throughout the fluid and the walls of t he container.
