Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems

Assignment #4: Pumps


1. A gear pump has a 75-mm outside diameter, a 50-mm inside diameter, and a 25-mm width. If the
volumetric efficiency is 90% at rated pressure, what is the corresponding actual flow rate? The pump
speed is 1000 rpm.
2. A vane pump has a rotor diameter of 50 mm, a cam ring diameter of 75 mm, and a vane width of 50
mm. If the eccentricity is 8 mm, determine the volumetric displacement.
3. A fixed displacement vane pump delivers 1000 psi oil to an extending hydraulic cylinder at 20 gpm.
When the cylinder is fully extended, oil leaks past its piston at a rate of 0.7 gpm. The pressure relief
valve setting is 1200 psi. If a pressure compensated vane pump were used it would reduce pump flow
from 20 gpm to 0.7 gpm when the cylinder is fully extended to provide the leakage flow at the pressure
relief valve setting of 1200 psi. How much hydraulic horsepower would be saved by using the pressure-
compensated pump?
4. Find the offset angle for an axial piston pump that delivers 16 gpm at 3000 rpm. The pump has nine -
in-diameter pistons arranged on a 5-in-diameter piston circle. The volumetric efficiency is 95%.
5. Find the flow rate in units of L/s that an axial piston pump delivers at 1000 rpm. The pump has nine
15-mm-diameter pistons arranged on a 125-mm-diameter piston circle.The offset angle is set at 10° and
the volumetric efficiency is 94%.
6. A pump has a displacement volume of 100 cm3. It delivers 0.0015 m3/s at 1000 rpm and 70 bars. If the
prime mover input torque is 120 N · m,
a. What is the overall efficiency of the pump?
b. What is the theoretical torque required to operate the pump?
7. The pump in problem 6 is driven by an electric motor having an overall efficiency of 85%.The hydraulic
system operates 12 hours per day for 250 days per year. The cost of electricity is $0.11 per kilowatt
hour. Determine
a. The yearly cost of electricity to operate the hydraulic system
b. The amount of the yearly cost of electricity that is due to the inefficiencies of the electric motor and
pump
