Question:

A large chipper/shredder is to be designed for use by commercial tree trimming companies. It would be mounted on a trailer to pull behind a large truck. The rotating blades of the unit protrude from a large flywheel that is driven by a fluid motor that runs on medium machine tool hydraulic oil from a hydraulic system. This is a great application for a fluid motor given the extreme and sudden variations in torque and speed. An average of 80 HP is required from this motor to drive the rotating blades. How much oil at 1200 psi is required given a motor with 87 percent efficiency? Assume the motor outlet to be at atmospheric pressure, and the same size as the inlet. Give your answer in gal/min.
