Class,
Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are the two main types of power
systems used on aircraft. Hydraulic systems use some type of mostly
incompressible fluid to create pressure to actuate certain things, and
pneumatic systems use high pressure air to pressurize certain systems. A
lot of times, these systems are used together to make systems even
easier to use. Hydraulics have made flight control systems much easier
and simpler to use and maintain. Hydraulic usually operate quite
smoothly, and the maintenance that is required is usually somewhat quick
and easy depending on the task or part of the system. Some drawbacks to
hydraulic and pneumatic systems are that they are very heavy, usually
quite complicated and large, and expensive. The maintenance, although
usually simple, can be time consuming due to the size and complexity of
most of these systems.
One of the biggest issues of maintaining these systems is their sheer
complexity. These systems are found all throughout the entire aircraft, and
they can be very hard to follow and troubleshoot. Finding leaks and even
doing maintenance on them can be a very long and drawn-out process
depending on the problem and location. Modern hydraulic systems are
extremely complex, and no troubleshooting can be completed without
having the schematic diagram of the system laid out in front of you
(Crane, 2007).

In a detergent-making process, 1400gal/h of water flows through a 2-inch pipe system as follows: Exit from pump, 2ft vertical, open gate valve, 14 ft vertical, 908 bend, 12ft horizontal, 1/4 open globe valve, 20ft horizontal, 908 bend, 6ft horizontal, 908 bend, 12ft vertical, 908 bend, 14ft horizontal, 908 bend, 4 ft vertical, 908 bend, 28ft horizontal, open gate valve, 3ft horizontal, entry to tank containing 30ft of liquid.
(a). If the pump and tank are both at grade level, estimate the head that the pump must deliver.
(b). If the pump inlet pressure is 25 psig, what is the outlet pressure?
(c). Estimate the pump shaft work
( d). If the pump is powered by an electric motor with 85% efficiency, what is the annual electricity consumption?

Suppose that you have designed a portable compressed-air supply system, as shown in the figure below,for filling scuba tanks and for driving pneumatics tools in garages and factories.The system consists of an electric motor, an air compressor, an air tank, a regulator and a pressure-reliefsafety valve.The regulator contains a pressure sensor connected to a power switch. The motor is switched on whenthe tank pressure drops bellow a fixed value and off at a slightly higher pressure. The pressure-reliefvalve is set to open at a higher pressure than the regulator motor off-pressure.Explosion of the tank is clearly a dangerous hazard. Three events are assumed to possibly lead to a tankexplosion:1. an internal tank defect such as poor welding2. an external cause such as a plant vehicle colliding with the tank3. Excess pressure in the tank. The excess pressure can occur only if both the control unit and thepressure-relief valve fail:The pressure sensor might fail to shut oof the motor because…

Note/Answer only four questions, including the first question
Q.1: Water is to be cooled in a packed tower from 330 to 295 K by means of air flowing counter
currently. The liquid flows at the rate of 275 cm³/m² s and the air at 0.7 m³/m² s. The entering
air has a temperature of 295 K and a humidity of 20%. Calculate the required height of tower
and the condition of the air leaving at the top. The whole of the resistance to heat and mass
transfer can be considered as being within the gas phase and the product of the mass transfer
coefficient and the transfer surface per unit volume of column (ha) may be taken as 0.2 s¹.
Assuming, the latent heat of water at 273 K = 2495 kJ/kg, specific heat capacity of dry air =
1.003 kJ/kg K, specific heat capacity of…
