There are two double-acting pneumatic actuators, the extension of each one is executed in 5 seconds at 80 psi and recoil in 4 seconds at 30 psi, the travel of both is 12 inches, the diameter of the piston is dp = 4 "and of the rod dv = 1" a) Determine the compression ratios. The local atmospheric pressure is 79kpa = (11.5 psi) b) Determine the air consumption in cubic feet per minute of free air PCM c) Determine the average air consumption for each. d) Propose the regulation values of the pressure switch, system pressure and safety valve
