Assignment 1
DUE DATE : 16 APRIL 2018

1. A steel pipe is used to flow a fluid with flow rate of 0.6 m3/min. Determine minimum pipe inside
diameter if the average fluid velocity is limited to 10 m/s.

(5 marks)

2. A weight of 1200 N is to be pushed on an inclined surface at constant speed by a cylinder as shown

in Figure Q2 below. The friction coefficient between the weight and the inclined surface is 0.15. If
the cylinder received pressure of 1800 Pa from pump, determine required cylinder piston diameter to
push the weight.

(10 marks)

Figure Q2

3. Determine force F provided by the cylinder to sustain load of 1200 N in a crane system as shown in
Figure Q3.

(10 marks)

Figure Q3

4. A hydraulic system contains a pump that discharges oil at pressure 2000 Pa and flow-rate of 100
m3/min to a hydraulic motor as shown in Figure Q4. The pressure at the motor inlet is 1800 Pa due
to pressure drop in the line and leaves at 200 Pa. Assuming the motor has 100% efficiency,
determine output power of the motor.

Figure Q4

5. A pump is used to pump hydraulic oil with flow rate of 0.0085 m3/min, 68 cS viscosity and specific
weight of 8780 N/m3 in a hydraulic system in Fig Q5. Determine the pump power if the gage
pressure available at the inlet of the hydraulic motor (station 2) is 1.4 Mpa.

6. A single acting pneumatic cylinder is used as power tool receive pressurized air of 687 kPa at 28 °C
from the compressor. The cylinder has 65 mm piston diameter and stroke lenght of 172 mm.
Determine reciprocation rate of the cylinder if the available air flow rate is 0.0655 standard m3/min.
