Principles of Operation
The hand pump converts the power of a human being to hydraulic horsepower. For this reason, such pumps are used in older model aircraft.
Types
There are several types of handpumps. 1. Single action - single impulse (S.A.S.I.) 2. Double action - double impulse (D.A.D.I.) 3. Single action - double impulse (S.A.D.I.)
. In this case,
. But a mans average output is about 50 lb for F1. Therefore, the piston area must be made half its present size (if the pressure is to remain constant). Thus, volumetric output will then decrease to 1 cu. in., since . Problem: (SASI Pump) Given a SASI pump connected to a hydraulic system under 3000 psi pressure and the mechanical advantage of the pump (the ratio of D1 to D2 ) to be 30 to 1, find: 1) the number of cycles needed to pump 300 cubic inches of fluid into the system; and, 2) the force to be applied at the pump handle. Assume that the piston surface area is 0.5 square inches. Since the system pressure = 3000 psi and this acts on a surface area of 1/2 square inch, the force generated by the hydraulic fluid is 1500 lbs.
Using the mechanical advantage of 30 to 1, we find that the force at the pump handle will be
or
Since the piston stroke is D2, the volume moved per cycle is D2 times the piston surface area
or
Thus, per cycle, 0.5 cubic inches of fluid is pumped into the system. The number of cycles needed to pump 300 cubic inches of fluid may be found from
