Information

This is a model of a pump with volumes, variable displacement setting, friction, and internal and external leakage. The axial speed is proportional to the flow rate:



The torque is proportional to the pressure difference:



where
:Mass flow rate
:Fluid density
D:Maximum displacement
u:Displacement setting
:Pressure difference between the ports
:Torque
:Angular velocity

The signal is limited to +/-1 and controls the flow according to the table below:

u>=1:Maximum flow from port a to port b
u=0:Only leakage flow from port a to port b
u<=-1:Maximum flow from port b to port a

Limitations

Volumetric efficiency is not included in the model.
