CLASS WORK

1) A hydraulic cylinder has a bore of 200 mm and a piston rod diameter of 140 mm.
For an extend speed of 5 m/min, calculate
(a) The supply flow rate.
(b) The flow rate from the annulus side on extend.
(c) The retract speed using QE.
(d) The flow rate from the full bore end on retract.

Also, if the maximum pressure applied to the cylinder is 100 bar, calculate the
(e) dynamic extend thrust
(f) dynamic retract thrust assuming that dynamic thrust = 0.9 static thrust.
