An engineering student has been given the assignment of designing a hydraulic holding system for a hay-baling system. The system has four cylinders with 120 mm diameter pistons with a stroke of 0.320 m. The lines connecting the system are 1 cm id (inside diameter). There are 15.5 m of lines in the system. For proper design, the reserve tank should hold a minimum of 50 percent more than the amount of hydraulic fluid in the system. If the diameter of the reserve tank is 30.48 cm, what is the shortest height it should be?

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
