Question

capacity
the capacity of an oil pump indicates the amount of oil which can be transferred in a given time
the capacity of an oil pump depends on:

• the oil pump construction

a large volume oil pump can transfer more oil than an oil pump rated at a smaller volume

• the engine speed

the higher the engine speed, the greater the oil transfer in a given time.
given:
at 5000 rpm, a pump delivers 25 liters of oil per minute.
the volume of the oil pan is 5 liters.
how often is the oil pan volume pumped through the system in 1 minute?
125
incorrect.
the volume is 25/5 = 5 (pumped around 5 times in 1 minute)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the number of times

We know that the pump delivers \(25\) liters per minute and the volume of the oil pan is \(5\) liters. To find out how many times the oil pan volume is pumped through the system in 1 minute, we use the formula: \(n=\frac{V_{total}}{V_{pan}}\), where \(V_{total}\) is the total volume pumped in 1 minute and \(V_{pan}\) is the volume of the oil pan.
Substitute \(V_{total} = 25\) liters and \(V_{pan}=5\) liters into the formula: \(n=\frac{25}{5}\).

Answer:

\(5\) times.
