QUESTION 6: HYDRAULICS 6.1 Given: Ram diameter D = 400 mm = 0.4 m. Initial mass m_initial = 580 kg. Required hydraulic pressure P = 1.0 MPa = 1.0 × 10^6 Pa. Ram moves distance s = 250 mm = 0.25 m in t = 4 s. Assume g = 9.81 m/s^2. Step 1: Calculate the area of the ram. A = ( D^2)/(4) = (0.4 m)^24 = ( × 0.16)/(4) = 0.04 m^2 ≈ 0.12566 m^2 6.1.1 The additional mass required to maintain the working hydraulic pressure. Step 2: Calculate the total mass required to achieve the desired pressure. The pressure is given by P = (F)/(A) = m_total · gA. m_total = (P · A)/(g) = (1.0 × 10^6 Pa) × (0.04 m^2)9.81 m/s^2 m_total = (125663.7)/(9.81) ≈ 12809.76 kg Step 3: Calculate the additional mass. m_additional = m_total - m_initial = 12809.76 kg - 580 kg = 12229.76 kg The additional mass required is 12229.76 kg. 6.1.2 The work done by the ram in the working stroke. Step 1: Calculate the force exerted by the ram. F = P · A = (1.0 × 10^6 Pa) × (0.04 m^2) = 125663.7 N Step 2: Calculate the work done. W = F · s = (125663.7 N) × (0.25 m) = 31415.925 J The work done by the ram is 31415.93 J. 6.1.3 The power transmitted by the ram during the working stroke. Step 1: Calculate the power. P_power = (W)/(t) = 31415.925 J4 s = 7853.98 W The power transmitted by the ram is 7853.98 W. 6.2 Given: Plunger diameter d = 80 mm = 0.08 m. Stroke length L = 200 mm = 0.2 m. Number of cylinders N_c = 3. Delivery pressure P = 820 kPa = 820 × 10^3 Pa. Pump speed N = 180 r/min. Overall efficiency _overall = 88\% = 0.88. Slip = 5\% = 0.05. Step 1: Calculate the area of one plunger. A_p = ( d^2)/(4) = (0.08 m)^24 = ( × 0.0064)/(4) = 0.0016 m^2 ≈ 0.0050265 m^2 Step 2: Convert pump speed to strokes per minute. Since it's a three-cylinder pump, and assuming it's single-acting, N = 180 strokes/min. 6.2.1 The power required to drive the pump at 180 r/min if the overall efficiency is 88%. Step 3: Calculate the theoretical volume delivered per minute. Q_theoretical = N_c · A_p · L · N Q_theoretical = 3 × (0.0016 m^2) × (0.2 m) × (180 min^-1) Q_theoretical = 0.542867 m^3/min Step 4: Calculate the theoretical power output of the pump. P_out = P · Q_theoretical = (820 × 10^3 Pa) × ((0.542867)/(60) m^3/s) P_out = 820 × 10^3 × 0.00904778 ≈ 7419.18 W Step 5: Calculate the power required to drive the pump (input power). P_in = P_out_overall = 7419.18 W0.88 ≈ 8430.89 W The power required to drive the pump is 8430.89 W. 6.2.2 The volume of water delivered per minute in litres, if the pump has a slip of 5%. Step 1: Calculate the actual volume delivered per minute. Q_actual = Q_theoretical × (1 - slip) Q_actual = (0.542867 m^3/min) × (1 - 0.05) Q_actual = 0.542867 × 0.95 = 0.51572365 m^3/min Step 2: Convert the volume to litres per minute. Q_actual\_litres = 0.51572365 m^3/min × 1000 litres/m^3 = 515.72 litres/min The volume of water delivered per minute is 515.72 litres/min. 6.3 Given: Ram diameter D_ram = 90 mm = 0.09 m. Plunger diameter d_plunger = 18 mm = 0.018 m. Plunger stroke length L_plunger = 35 mm = 0.035 m. Lever mechanical advantage MA = 10. Load W = 4 tons = 4000 kg. Efficiency = 80\% = 0.80. Slip = 4\% = 0.04. Ram lift H_ram = 180 mm = 0.18 m. Assume g = 9.81 m/s^2. Step 1: Calculate the areas of the ram and plunger. A_ram = D_ram^24 = (0.09 m)^24 = ( × 0.0081)/(4) = 0.002025 m^2 ≈ 0.0063617 m^2 A_plunger = d_plunger^24 = (0.018 m)^24 = ( × 0.000324)/(4) = 0.000081 m^2 ≈ 0.00025447 m^2 6.3.1 The force required to lift a 4-ton load if the efficiency of the press is 80%. Step 2: Calculate the force of the load on the ram. F_load = W · g = 4000 kg × 9.81 m/s^2 = 39240 N Step 3: Calculate the theoretical force required on the plunger. The pressure is constant throughout the hydraulic system: P = F_plunger\_theoreticalA_plunger = F_loadA_ram. F_plunger\_theoretical = F_load A_plungerA_ram = (39240 N) × 0.000081 m^20.002025 m^2 F_plunger\_theoretical = 39240 × (0.000081)/(0.002025) = 39240 × 0.04 = 1569.6 N Step 4: Calculate the actual force applied to the plunger, considering efficiency. F_applied\_plunger = F_plunger\_theoretical = 1569.6 N0.80 = 1962 N Step 5: Calculate the force required on the lever. F_lever = F_applied\_plungerMA = 1962 N10 = 196.2 N The force required to lift a 4-ton load is 196.2 N. 6.3.2 The number of strokes required to raise the load 180 mm if the hydraulic system has a slip of 4%. Step 1: Calculate the volume of water required to lift the ram by H_ram. V_ram\_lift = A_ram · H_ram = (0.002025 m^2) × (0.18 m) = 0.0003645 m^3 ≈ 0.0011451 m^3 Step 2: Calculate the theoretical volume displaced by the plunger per stroke. V_plunger\_stroke = A_plunger · L_plunger = (0.000081 m^2) × (0.035 m) = 0.000002835 m^3 ≈ 0.000008908 m^3 Step 3: Calculate the actual volume delivered by the plunger per stroke, considering slip. V_actual\_stroke = V_plunger\_stroke × (1 - slip) = (0.000002835 m^3) × (1 - 0.04) V_actual\_stroke = 0.000002835 × 0.96 m^3 ≈ 0.000008551 m^3 Step 4: Calculate the number of strokes required. N_strokes = V_ram\_liftV_actual\_stroke = 0.0011451 m^30.000008551 m^3 ≈ 133.91 Since the number of strokes must be an integer, we round up. The number of strokes required is 134 strokes. What's next?
