Question4:

A gear pump has an outside diameter of 82.6 mm, inside diameter of 57.2 mm and a width of
25.4 mm. If the actual pump flow is 1800 RPM and the rated pressure is 0.00183 what is the
volumetric efficiency?

Solution: We have
Outside diameter D, =82.6 mm
Inside diameter D, =57.2 m

Width d 25.4= mm
Speed of pump N= 1800 RPM
Actual flow rate =0.00183 m/s
Theoretical flow rate

x(D-0)xdx 60
1800
x(0.0826 -0.0572:)x0.0254x.
4 60
= 2.125 x103
Volumetric efficiency is

0.00183

2.125x10
=
-x100 86.11%
•The hydraulic lift A hydraulic lift
consists of a smalldiameter piston
of radius 5 cm, and a large diameter
piston of radius 15 cm. How much
force must be exerted on the smal
diameter piston in order to sup

the weight of acar at 13,300 N?

Internal Gear Machines

Similar to the external gear machines, internal


gear units also have two gears: the inner
internal gear (connected to the shaft) meshes
with an outer internal [Link] two gears are
eccentric, anda crescent is interposed between
the two elements, as shown in Figure [Link]
crescent can float subject to the different
pressure forces, achieving a tight sealing effect.
The process for displacing fluid is very similar to
the previous case, presenting a transfer phase
followed by a meshing phase.

The connection between the


displacement chambers (tooth space
volumes) and the inlet and outlet ports
can occur through axial connections or
radial [Link] drawings in Figure
6.28 shows the case of radial connections.
The radial openings allow the
displacement chambers toconnect to the
high-pressure and low-pressure ports,
through proper channels implemented in

the housing.
[Link] is the difference between a fixed
displacement pump and a variable
displacement pump?
