Hydrostatics
Mathematically , p=gh
Where = mass density, Kg/m 3
h= height of fluid level ( head) in m
p = pressure intensity in bar,
(1 bar = 105 Pascal = 105 N/ m2)
g = acceleration due to gravity, m/ s2
The Hydrostatic Paradox: The pressure intensity at all points
along a horizontal plane remains the same i.e., p1= p2 = p3

Fluid Power

Vane Pumps
The rotor which contains radial slots, is splined to the drive shaft and
rotates inside a cam ring
Each slot contains a vane designed to mate with the surface of the
cam ring as the rotor turns
Centrifugal force keeps the vanes out against the surface of the cam
ring
As the rotor rotates through the second half rotation, the surface of
the cam ring pushes the vanes back into their slots, and the trapped
volume is reduced. This positively ejects the trapped fluid through the
discharge port

Vane Pumps
Let,
DC = diameter of cam ring (m)

L = width of rotor (m)
VD = pump volumetric displacement (m3)
e = eccentricity (m)
emax = maximum possible eccentricity (m)
VDmax = maximum possible volumetric

Vane Pump
The maximum pressure achieved is called Pdeadband, at which point the pump
is protected because it produces no more flow. As a result there is no power
wasted and fluid heating is reduced

A balanced vane pump is one that has two intake and two outlet
ports diametrically opposite each other. This results in the
achievement of complete hydraulic balance.

Pump Cavitation
Another noise problem, called pump cavitation can occur due to
entrapped air bubbles in the hydraulic fluid or vaporisation of
hydraulic fluid
This occurs when the pump suction lift is excessive and the pump
inlet pressure falls below the vapour pressure of the fluid. As a
result, air or vapour bubbles which form in the low-pressure inlet
region of the pump, are collapsed when they reach the high
pressure discharge region
This produces high fluid velocity and impact forces, which can
erode the metallic components and shorten pump life
