STATIC PRESSURE OF LIQUIDS, HYDRAULIC PRESSURE, ABSOLUTE AND GAUGE PRESSURE:

Numerical

Q1. A hydraulic press has a diameter ratio between the two piston of 8:1. The diameter of the larger piston is 600 mm and it is required to support a mass of 3500 kg. The press filled with hydraulic fluid of sp.gravity 0.8. Calculate the force required on the smaller piston to provide the required force: a) When the two pistons are at the same level. B) When the smaller piston is 2.6 m below the larger piston.

Solution.



















                                                           

F2=536.48N





















F2=625.94N

Q2. The diameter of the piston of a hydraulic jack is 6 times greater than the diameter of the plunger which is 200 mm. They are both at same height and made of same material. The piston weighs 100 N and supports a mass of 50 kg. The jack is filled with oil of density 900 kg/m3. Calculate the force required at the plunger to support the piston and mass if carries at a level 10 cm above that of plunger.

Solution:
























Q3. The ratio of the diameter of plunger and ram is 1:5, the diameter of plunger is 40 mm; find the weight lifted by the hydraulic press when the force is applied at plunger is 500 N.


Solution.    P1 = P2













F1 =62500N

Heat Engine

Heat Engine : (Power Plant of an Automobile)  A device which is used to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy is called an Engine . The heat energy produced by burning of the fuel is converted into mechanical power, then it is called a Heat Engine.  Heat engines are classified into two types.  1.External Combustion Engine  2.Internal Combustion Engine  1. External Combustion Engine  An external combustion engine is a Heat engine where a working fluid, is heated by combustion in an external source like Boiler. The fluid then, by expanding and acting on the mechanism of the engine, produces motion and usable work. The combustion process takes place outside the mechanical engine system.   Eg. Steam Engines, Ancient Marine Engines  2.Internal Combustion Engine  An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a Heat engine where the combustion of a fuel and air occurs inside the engine combustion chamber that is an integral part of an engine....

Differential Manometer 1.Introduction Differential manometers are used to measure the difference of pressures between two points in a pipe or in two different pipes. There are two types of differential manometers.             1.   U-tube upright differential manometer             2.   U-tube inverted differential manometer 1.2  U-tube Upright Differential Manometer It is used to measure pressure difference at two points in a pipe or between two pipes at different levels. Case 1 - U-tube upright differential manometer connected at two points in a pipe at same level The construction and arrangement of a manometer connected at two different points, A and B, of a pipe is shown in figure 1                              Fig.1U-tube upright differential manometer    Let,          ρ 1  = densit...
