1. Derive the expression for the leakage flow of the spool valve as shown in the figure below

2. A swash plate axial piston pump has the following parameters: number of piston, z = 7, piston
diameter, d = 10 mm, piston circle diameter, D = 35 mm, swash plate angle, = 20, rotational
speed, n = 3000 rpm, mechanical efficiency, m = 0.9, hydraulic efficiency, h = 0.99, inlet
pressure, Pi = 0 and resistance to internal leakage RL = 258 GNs/m5.
(a) Calculate the geometric volume of the pump and plot in scale the relation between the real
pump flow and exit pressure in the range from 0 to 30 MPa.
(b) Calculate the total pump efficiency at an exit pressure of 10 MPa.
(c) Calculate or find graphically the maximum pressure in the delivery line if it is completely
closed, in the absence of any relief valves.

3. Determine the beta ratio of a filter when, during test operation, 30000 particles greater than 20 m
enter the filter and 1050 of these particles pass through the filter. What is the beta efficiency?

4. A hydraulic motor has a 100 cm3 volumetric displacement. If it has a pressure rating of 140 bar and
receives oil from a 0.001m3/s theoretical flow rate pump, find the motor (a) speed, (b) theoretical torque,
(c) theoretical kW power.

5. For the fluid power system shown in Fig.
