Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulic Machinery

  1. Oil in a hydraulic cylinder is compressed from an initial volume 2 m3 to 1.96 m3. If the pressure of oil in the cylinder changes from 40 MPa to 80 MPa during compression, the bulk modulus of elasticity of oil is
    1. 1000 MPa
    2. 2000 MPa
    3. 4000 MPa
    4. 8000 MPa
Correct Option: B

Bulk modules of elasticity, 1 dh K =
−dh
dv/V1

K = −V1
−dp
dv

K =
−2 × 40
−0.04

K = 2000 MPa
