Pump selection problem (50 points)
An industrial hydraulic circuit (Figure 1 ) has the following operating conditions requirements:
Flowrate: within the range of 75-100 gallons per minute
Head: at least 125 feet
Figure 1: Industrial hydroponics unit
Select at least two appropriate pumps that are applicable for the operating conditions that have been
listed with reasonable efficiency. For both the pumps selected provide the following information:
1. Provide the following product attributes of the pump that you have selected:
a) Brand
b) Part No (Or other model identifier information specified by the manufacturer)
c) Weight
d) Wattage
e) Dimensions: Length, Height, Width
f) What size tubing can it fit?
g) Flowrate specification in Gallons per minute or m3/s
h) Voltage
i) Safety Rating
2. Provide the pump performance curves of head vs. flowrate for the model selected with the
operating point i.e. (Flowrate-75-100 GPM, Head- 125 Feet) clearly marked on the figure.
3. What is the pump efficiency at the operating point i.e. (Flowrate-75-100 GPM, Head- 125
Feet)
4. Provide the pump performance curves for the efficiency for the model selected with the
operating point i.e. (Flowrate-75-100 GPM, Head- 125 Feet) clearly marked on the figure.

Gear pump selection problem (35 Points)
For a hydraulic circuit in a mechanical system (Figure 2) oil needs to be pumped at a flowrate in the
range of 6-10 gallons per minute and head of at least 95 psi.
Figure 2: Mechanical system hydraulic circuit
Select at least 2 different gear pumps that are applicable for the operating conditions that have been
listed. For both the pumps selected provide the following information:
1. Provide the following product attributes of the pumps that you have selected:
a) Brand
b) Part No
c) Flowrate and head specification in Gallons per minute or m3/s and Psi or Pa
respectively
2. Provide at least one page from the product catalogue that proves that the pump that you
have selected can be used for the required operating conditions
