1. (a) Briefly describe a few applications of
fluid powered system. What are the
advantages of fluid powered system over
other source of powers ?' 5+3=8
(b) Explain the working of air to hydraulic
pressure booster. 4
(c) Derive the equation of pressure
difference for a venturimeter. 4
(d) A hydraulic cylinder is to compress a
car body down to bale suze in 10 sec.
