Solution;
Given;
Speed of pump;
1440rev/min
Displacement;
12.5ml/rev
Volumetric efficiency;
87%
Cylinder 1;
63mm bore ×35mm rod×250mm stroke
Cylinder 2;
80mm bore ×55mm rod ×150mm stroke
Flow of fluid;
1440×12.5=18000ml/min
For cylinder 1;
V1=4πD2L
V1=4π×6.32×25=779.31cm3
Also;
V2=4π(Db2−Dr2)L
V2=4π×(6.32−3.52)×25=538.78cm3
Since ;
1cm3=1ml
V1=779.31ml
V2=538.78ml
Time take for cylinder 1 to extend and retract is;
tc1=18000779.31+538.78=0.0732min
tc1=4.3936s
For cylinder 2;
V1=4π×82×15=753.98cm3=753.98ml
V2=4π×(82−5.52)×15=397.61cm3=397.61ml
Time take for cylinder 2 to extend and retract is;
tc2=18000753.98+397.61=0.06398min
tc2=3.8386s
Chose tc1 which is greater since it allows both cylinder to extend and retract fully.
tminimum=4.3936s
