Conclusion
:
To conclude, by performing this practical the students understood the relationship
between pressure and flow rate in the hydraulic system.
1.
What does a flow meter measure?
-
The Flow meter in a circuit is used to measure the flow rate of the fluid
passing through the circuit.
2.
Is a relief valve considered to be a normally passing or normally
non
–
passing valve?
-
A relief valve is considered to be a normally non-passing valve.
3.
State the function of a hydraulic pump.
-
A hydraulic pump is a mechanical device that transforms mechanical
energy into hydraulic energy. It generates flow with sufficient power to
overcome the pressure caused by the load.
4.
What determines pressure in a hydraulic circuit?
-
Pressure is created when there is a resistance in fluid flow.
5.
What is occurring to the inside diameter of a Flow control
valve (adjustable orifice) when the adjusting knob is turn
clockwise.
-
When the adjusting knob is turned clockwise, the inside diameter gets
smaller and smaller, restricting the fluid flow causing rise in pressure.

Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide

Tire manufacturers recommend that you check your tire pressure monthly to avoid unnecessary tire wear and enhance safety. This is best done when the tires are cold meaning; the car has not been driven for at least 2 hours. Since you leave for work before the sun comes up you decide to inflate your tires to the recommended pressure right after you get home from work in the afternoon when the tires are still warm. What would you find if you rechecked your tire pressure after the tires have cooled down?
A.Tire pressure has decreased because there is a decrease in kinetic energy of themolecules resulting in more collisions with the inside walls of the tire thusincreasing the pressure inside the tire.
B.Tire pressure has increased because there is a decrease in kinetic energy of the molecules resulting in fewer collisions with the inside walls of the tire thus decreasing the pressure inside the tire.
C.Tire pressure has increased because there is an increase in kinetic energy of the…

For my assigment, I was asked to design a electric motorbike that has a peformance equal to Honda CBR1000 Fireblade which has a petrol engine. A part of the the assignment is to calculate " An estimate of maximum Power your new motor will need to generate to match the Honda’s performance." I can make the assumption, apart from changing the motor, everything else is going to stay the same so the fairing,the rider and etc they're gonna be the same for the two bikes. So can you please tell me how I can calculate that which information would I need ?

C)If both cyclists have 170 mm cranks on their bikes, what will be the mechanical advantage (considering only the movement of the feet with a constant force for walking and riding), in percent, that each rider will have achieved over walking the same distance? (This can
be found by dividing the distance wallked by the distance the feet move in riding.)
