Question: For the double - pump system shown, what should be the pressure settings of the unloading valve and pressure relief valve under the following conditions:

For the double-pump system shown, what should be the pressure settings of the unloading valve and pressure relief valve under the following conditions:
a) Sheet metal punching operation requires a force of 8000 N
b) Hydraulic cylinder has a 3.75 cm diameter piston and a 1.25 cm diameter rod.
c) During rapid extension of the cylinder, a frictional pressure loss of 675 kPa occurs in the line from the high flow pump to the cap end of the cylinder. During the same time, a 350 kPa pressure loss occurs in the return line from the rod end of the cylinder to the oil tank. Frictional pressure losses in these lines are negligibly small during the punching operation.
d) Assume that the unloading valve and relief valve pressure settings (for their full pump flow requirements) should be 50% higher than the pressure required to overcome frictional pressure losses and the cylinder punching load, respectively.
For the double - pump system shown, what should
