The function of human heart is similar to that of a
hydraulic pump in a machine or machinery. Tutorial videos

| Human heart Vs Hydraulic pump |
Human heart pumps blood to different parts of our body
through the blood vessels and hydraulic pump pumps the fluid through hose to
actuators of the machine. The function of a pump is to create flow. Mechanical Engineering tutorials videos. This is
what both hydraulic pump and heart does “create flow”.
When the flow stops the system dies. The flow is converted
to pressure for doing various functions by creating restriction (orifice,
venture etc)Tutorial videos
See the video in this topic to get to know more about it.
The figure shows a clear idea about the concept. Hydraulic pump gets the power
to drive from the prime mover (engine). It sucks the oil from the hydraulic
tank and supplies to the hydraulic ram (hydraulic actuator).
Heart is made of cardiac muscles and tissues. Hydraulic pump
is composed of mechanical gears.Automobile Engineering tutorials
Hydraulic pumps are of different types:
Gear pump, Rotary pump, Screw pumps, Bent axis pump, axial
piston pumps, Radial piston pumps, Peristaltic pump etc.
