Task 0.1
The figures below show a sharp edged orifice with an opening area A. The flow coefficient Cq
can be assumed to be 0.67 and the oil’s density is 870 kg/m3. Below are different questions.

a. If the restrictor diameter is 2 mm and the pressure before the orifice is 20 MPa, and the
pipe after the orifice is connected to tank - how large are the flows q1 and q2?
b. If the pressure before the orifice is 30 MPa and the flow is 120 l/min., how large should the
orifice diameter be for the pressure after the orifice to be 10 MPa (i.e. the orifice is not
connected to the tank)? What is the pressure drop over the orifice?
c. The pipe after the orifice is connected to the tank and the flow is 120 l/min. How big
should the orifice at least be if the pressure before the orifice should not exceed 30 MPa?
d. The flow increases with 10 % in comparison to task c, i.e. 132 l/min. Calculate the inlet
pressure.
e. Calculate the hydraulic power losses through the orifice in task c and d.
Task 0.2
The figure below shows a cylinder and a load. On the piston rod a mass is applied which weighs
1 ton. The piston area Ak is 5 cm2, and As/Ak = 0.5. The cylinder is assumed to be lossless.

a. Formulate the force equilibrium on the piston. Calculate the pressure pin if the cylinder’s rod
side is connected to the tank.
b. Lifting speed is 0.3 m/s. How large an inlet flow is required? What is the outlet flow?
c. You want to increase the lifting speed to 0.5 m/s by reducing the piston area. What piston
area is needed to reach the desired speed with maintained inlet flow? Calculate the required
cylinder pressure pin to lift the load. The piston rod side is connected to tank.
d. Calculated the hydraulic input power which is required to lift the mass in task c.
e. Calculate the mechanical power output. Is there any difference between the inlet and outlet?
Why/why not?
Task 0.3
The figure below shows indexes for a pump. The pump’s rotating speed is 1500 revs/minute
(rpm) and the pump has a fixed displacement, εp=1.

a. What flow is delivered by the pump if the displacement is 60 cm3/revs? The pump’s
volumetric efficiency is 0.90.
b. Calculate the shaft torque when an outlet pressure of 30 MPa should be delivered. The
pump’s hydro-mechanical efficiency is 0.85.
c. What is the pump’s total efficiency?
d. Calculate the hydraulic output power.
e. Calculate the necessary mechanical input power with two different methods.
Task 0.4
The figure below shows the indexes for a variable motor. The motor’s rotational speed is 1500
rpm.

a. The hydro-mechanical efficiency is 0.92 and the available inlet pressure is 20 MPa.
How big a motor displacement is required if the maximum shaft torque should be 100
Nm? Round the displacement to the nearest ten cm3.
b. The measured/effective inlet flow at full displacement is 63 l/min, other parameters are
as according to task a. What is the volumetric efficiency?
c. What displacement setting is required to maintain the shaft torque 100 Nm? What is the
effective flow with the new displacement setting? Assume that the efficiencies are not
changed.
d. Calculate the mechanical output power at the outlet torque 100 Nm.
e. Calculate the hydraulic input power in the same point as d.
f. Calculate the total efficiency with two different methods.
Task 0.5

figure, which drives the pump has the maximum power of 60 kW and constant rotational speed
np = 1500 rev/min. The motor’s minimum setting angle is = 0.25.

the hydraulic motor.
