TUTORIAL 2 : PASCAL AND BERNOULLI EQUATION EX 1 Figure 1 shows a pneumatic/hydraulic system used to lift a load.

If the inlet air pressure is 500 kPa, determine the maximum load that can be lifted. [15,700N]

EX 2 Figure 2 shows fluid power automobile lift system with the hydraulic system. If the air pressure equals 550 kPa and the hydraulic piston has a 250-mm diameter, i) ii) What is the maximum weight of an automobile that can be lifted? The specific gravity of the oil is 0.90. [26,565N] What percent error in the answer to this problem occurs by ignoring the 1m head of oil between the air-oil interface surface and the bottom surface of the piston? [1.63%]

EX 3 Figure 3 shows hand operated hydraulic jack. An operator makes 20 complete cycles during a 15 seconds interval using the hand pump as shown in the figure. Each complete cycle consists of two pump strokes (intake and power). The pump has a 5.08cm diameter piston and the load cylinder has a 10.06cm diameter piston. The average hand force is 88.9 N during each power stroke. i) ii) iii) How much load can be lifted? [1419 N] What is the distance of the load moved during the 15-seconds interval assuming no oil leakage? The pump piston has a 7.62cm stroke. [38.1 cm] What is the output power assuming 90% efficiency? [32.4 Watt]

(*** Hint: Please read example 3.5 in the Fluid Power Textbook)

Inlet air pressure (P1) Air piston area (A1) Oil piston area (A2) Load carrying capacity

= 100 psi (689.5kPa) = 0.02 m2 = 0.001 m2 = 300,000 N
