Industrial current to pneumatic convertor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the calculation of values for a current to pneumatic converter, specifically determining suitable values for X and Y based on given parameters. The constant of proportionality Kc is established as 2500 N/A, with the area A set at 5 cm². The derived equations indicate that both X and Y equal 50 mm, satisfying the equation X + Y = 100 mm. The output pressure Pout is calculated to be 1 bar or 100,000 pascals when the input current Iin is 20 mA.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of pneumatic systems and their components
  • Familiarity with the equation Pout = (Kc*Y/A*X)Iin + Fs*Z/A*X
  • Basic algebra for solving linear equations
  • Knowledge of unit conversions, particularly between mm² and cm²
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of pneumatic control systems
  • Learn about the impact of input current variations on pneumatic output
  • Explore the significance of the constant of proportionality in pneumatic systems
  • Investigate methods for validating calculations in engineering problems
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, students in mechanical or electrical engineering, and professionals working with pneumatic systems who need to understand the conversion of electrical signals to pneumatic outputs.

Homework Statement


A Current to pneumatic convertor which is shown here in the attachment has the given data which is
Kc=2500N/A (constant of proportionality
X+Y = 100mm
Z=75mm
A=5cm^2

1-to check the response of I/P as per graph what is the suitable value of x and y
2- what is the value of Fs


Homework Equations



Pout = (Kc*Y/A*X)Iin+Fs*Z/A*X

The Attempt at a Solution


Given data is
Kc =2500NA-1 or 2500,000mNA-1

X+Y = 100mm

Z=75mm

A= 5cm^2 or 500mm^2




Solution
The balance equation of the system is

Pout = (Kc * Y/A*X)Iin + Fs*Z/A*X

Y=MX+C




Now by looking the graph the intercept c of the line run through zero so
The Fs*z/A*X part of the equation iS neglected so new equation is lik
Pout = (Kc*Y/A*X) Iin

Or Y = MX





As per the graph the value of
Pout =1 bar or 100,000pascals
Iin = 20mA
now by putting these values in the above equation
100,000 = ( Kc*y/A*X) 20

Kc*Y/A*X = 5000

Now by putting the value of Kc and A

2500,000*Y/500*X = 5000

SO
Y/X = 1
Now as per the given data the

X+Y = 100
And Y = 100-X

Now by putting this value of X in the above equation


100-X/X = 1
100-X =1X
100 =1X+X
100 =2X
X =50mm

Now by putting this value of X in the given x+y =100 we will get the value

X+y = 100

50+Y = 100

Y = 100-50

Y = 50mm

so the value of x = 50mm and Y= 50mm
I am not sure this the correct solution and the unit selection is correct or not
If any friend has some idea about this please guide me
