Question1
A gear pump has a 3-in outside diameter, a 2-in inside diameter, and a 1-in
width. If the actual pump flow at 1800 rpm and rated pressure is 28 gpm, what is
the volumetric efficiency?

Question2
A gear pump has a 75-mm outside diameter, a 50 mm inside diameter, and a
25-mm width. If the volumetric efficiency is 90% at rated pressure, what is the
corresponding actual flow rate ?The pump speed is 1000 rpm.

Question3
A vane pump is to have a volumetric displacement of 5 in3. It has a rotor
diameter of 2 in, a cam ring diameter of 3 in , and a vane width of 2 in. What must
be the eccentricity?

Question4
A vane pump has a rotor diameter of 50 mm, a cam ring diameter of 75mm,
and a vane width of 50mm. if the eccentricity is 8 mm, determine the volumetric
displacement.

Question5
A pump has a displacement volume of 100 cm3.It delivers 0.0015 m3/s at
1000 rpm and 70 bars. If the prime mover input torque is 120 N.m,
a. What is the overall efficiency of the pump?
 b. What is the theoretical torque required to operate the pump?
Question6
