    Determining valve type from drawings

    Thanks very much for the quick response, i just have a couple of questions. Is the 2nd valve pressure compensated, i can see that if the pressure on port P was to rise we could move the spool and waste flow to the reservoir, but what about A. Would we move through the valve in section B to...

    Determining valve type from drawings

    I'm having some difficulty determining which type of valves the following are. I believe the first 1 is a pressure relief valve. However i don't understand the sectioning philosophy, some things just aren't sectioned that i'd expect to be, therefore I'm finding it hard to gauge which surfaces...

    Fluid Hydrostatics: Homework Solutions & Explanations

    Well i think i solved it, but i don't know why the first method didn't work! I just considered the equilibrium of the fluid element surrounding the cone and bounded by the cylinder of radius r=0.0577. The volume of this fluid element is Vcyl - Vcone = 1.05e-3 - 3.49e-4 = 7e-4 m^3 Weight of...

    Fluid Hydrostatics: Homework Solutions & Explanations

    Homework Statement Attached below Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution My first confusion is with the pressure measuring device, i just converted the units into Pa by dividing by 1.02x10-5 such that: Pressure at the top of the tank = (0.07/1.02e-5) - (9800*0.3) = 3922.75Pa So on the...
