STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Supply Pipe of Hydraulic Ram: 25.7 Meter --> 25.7 Meter No Conversion Required
Maximum Velocity in Supply Pipe of Ram: 1.555488 Meter per Second --> 1.555488 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Height of Water in Supply tank: 3.3 Meter --> 3.3 Meter No Conversion Required
Height of Water in Delivery Tank: 21.5 Meter --> 21.5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t = l_s*V_max/[g]*(1/h+1/(H-h)) --> 25.7*1.555488/[g]*(1/3.3+1/(21.5-3.3))

Evaluating ... ...

t = 1.45925854417133

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.45925854417133 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.45925854417133 ≈ 1.459259 Second <-- Total Time for One Cycle of Ram

What is One Cycle of Hydraulic Ram?

One cycle of a hydraulic ram encompasses the complete sequence of actions that occur as water is pumped from a lower elevation to a higher one. It begins with water flowing into the ram through the drive pipe, where it gains speed. Once the water reaches a specific velocity, the waste valve suddenly closes, creating a pressure surge due to the water hammer effect. This surge forces a portion of the water into the delivery pipe, lifting it to a higher elevation. Shortly after, the waste valve reopens, allowing the flow to continue, and the cycle repeats. This efficient process allows the hydraulic ram to operate continuously without the need for external power.

How to Calculate Total Time for One Cycle of Hydraulic Ram?
