Important Flow Variables In Hydraulic Pumps and Motors

Quantity Pumps Motors

Power Input PIn TPump • ωPump ∆pMotor • QMotor

Power Output POut ∆pPump • QPump TMotor • ωMotor

Volume Flow Rate Q DPump • ωPump DMotor• ωMotor

Or AIn • VIn Or AOut • VOut

DPump =Displacement of Pump DMotor =Displacement of Motor

Power Equation ηm•PIn = POut; so ηm•PIn = POut; so

P
ηm•TPump• ωPump = ηm•∆pMotor•QMotor =
∆pPump• QPump TMotor • ωMotor

Mass Flow Rate mIn = ρIn • AIn • VIn mIn = ρIn • AIn • VIn
mi
mOut = ρOut • AOut • VOut mOut = ρOut • AOut • VOut

Power Equation: PIn = POut + EStored + PLoss

Note: EStored ~ 0 For Steady State

PLoss = PIn • ( 1 - ηm )
