Hydraulic Circuit Pressure Drop
The hydraulic circuit shown involves a pump and four pressure restrictions. Assuming the reservoir is at atmospheric pressure and the flow is at steady-state, determine the gage pressures (in psi) at the four gages shown for:
a) Q = 7 lpm (liters/minute)
b) Q = 7 gpm (gallons/minute)
Determine the individual pressure drops to the nearest tenth (0.1) psi and the gage pressures to the nearest whole (1) psi.
