Comparison of theoretical and experimental fluid line responses with source and load impedances
Abstract
This paper reviews the mathematical theory for fluid transmission line dynamics with various source and load impedances. The major emphasis of this paper is the presentation of a large variety of experimental responses of pneumatic and hydraulic transmission lines, and the comparison of these experimental responses with the theory from the distributed-parameter line theory of the pressure transfer function. From the plots, it can be seen that the agreement between the theory and the experiment is excellent. This result provides confidence that the theoretical model can be applied to virtually any configuration of a fluid signal transmission line to accurately predict its frequency response in terms of its amplitude and phase characteristics.
