A hydraulic system on a track hoe is rated for a maximum pressure of 30,000 kPa. If the pump delivers 150 L/min of flow, what is the theoretical hydraulic power developed by the pump in kilowatts (kW)?

Hydraulic power (in kW) = (Pressure in kPa * Flow in L/min) / 60,000. So, (30,000 kPa * 150 L/min) / 60,000 = 75 kW. This formula is critical for calculating hy

Answer options: ✅ 75 kW

  • 7.5 kW
  • 45 kW
  • 450 kW

Correct answer: 75 kW

Explanation: Hydraulic power (in kW) = (Pressure in kPa * Flow in L/min) / 60,000. So, (30,000 kPa * 150 L/min) / 60,000 = 75 kW. This formula is critical for calculating hydraulic power output.
