(Evening) 5" Year 1" Semester Examination, 2014 Subject: Fluid Power & Control Time: Three hours Full Marks: 100 Question 7 is compulsory, and answer anv two questions from each of groups A and B. Differemt parts of the same question should be answered together. Group A 1. (a) Starting from a prime mover show through a schematic diagram, how power is being ansmined in a Myid power systen tw chive a luad. Identify the different components, power forms and variables invalved in the transmission process. (6) Describe the operating principle of a pilot operated pressure relief valve. (d) Compare between different Pressure Relief Valves in terms of pressure override characteristics 485 2. (a) Briefly explain how the displacement of the swash plete type axial piston pump ean be made variable? (b) It is required for a typical application to supply controlled flow to the actuator independent of the loading condition of the actuator. Suggest an appropriate control valve that will serve this purpose and describe its functioning with the help ofa schematic diagram. (c) Show the symbolic representations of upen, close and tandem cenue 3-way 4 position DCVs. S+10+5, 3. (a) Draw and label the different components of a typical sequence circuit where sequencing is done between two actuators A and B. During the exiension stroke actuator A is first extended followed by actuator B. During the retraction stroke. actuator B is first retracted followed by actuator A. (b) Classify intensifiers through their respective symbols. (c) Consider a 40 min bore diameter and 15 mm rod diameter asymmetric actuator with 0.2 Vs supply at 10.0 MPa pressure, Find all possible normal and regenerative speeds in both directions, and normal and regenerative thrusts available at the actuator during the extension stroke, Take the tank pressure to be atmospheric. HHS oup B 4, (a) Obtain a mathematical model that relates between the normalized load flow and load pressive at different normalized spool displacement for 9 critically lapped spool valve. Show the characteristics curves. (b) A Hiauid level tank has an inlet supply flow rate. g,(z) with a long outlet pipe through which the out flow rate isg,(1). By considering necessary assumptions, State the order of the plan, in the wansfer function of the plant relati the liquid level, /(¢) with y,(0) 10110Pape 2 of? EeMP/ST/S11/182014 5. (a) Consider a hydraulic actuation system comprising of a Direction Control Valve {DCV) controlling the flow from a fixed displacement pump (o a linear symmetric actuator. The actuator is attached to a spring and a dashpot. Considering on incompressible fluid, obtain the transfer function of the system relating the displacements of the spool of the NCV and the actuator piston through block diagram reduction. (b) Define and show the block diagrams of the different basic control actions for feedback control system. 1149 s 6. (a) Ifa system has an open loop tansfer function G(s - and is to be controlled Pal by a simple proportional (?) controller K, determine the closed-loop pole and zero position for K~1 and state about the asymptotic stability of the system. (b) Using Roth's Criterion comment on the stability of the following characteristic equation. Si 42st 43s) +b97 + 204150 10+10 7. Write short notes on any FOUR of the following: (a) Classification of actuators (b) Steady state error (c) Schematic of a closed loop control system (d) Linearized mathematical model (e) Speed control circuits (1) Unloading valve 4x5
