Question

See the circuit on the reverse The cylinder has a 21/2" piston, a 1" rod. an 8"stroke, and no pressure drop at the inlets The relief valve setting is 2900 psi for no flow. The pump supplies 10 gpm under all conditions. Assume no friction, no inefficiencies, etc., until told otherwise Assume that every line with a "*" experiences a pressure drop of 100 psi when there is flow. Assume that every time full flow passes through the directional valve or the relief valve there is a pressure drop of 150 psi CIRCUIT FOR THIS HOMEWORK: The force required to move the load is 5 tons (Unless told otherwise, always assume short tons.) What is the pressure difference across the piston required to extend? .... retract?

Explanation / Answer

The answer of the following questions are as follows

The pressure difference across the piston required to extend is 268 psi.
