For piping line systems associated with a double-acting reciprocating compressor, an analytical study has been made on the gas pulsation in piping lines and its effects on the compressor performance. The transfer matrix which relates mass flow rate to the gas pulsation downstream of the compressor valve can be obtained by an acoustic model for piping line systems which include snubber and after-cooler with the aid of four pole theory Since mass flow rate is affected by the pressure pulsation in the pressure plenum, while the latter being determined by the former, iteration in the calculation should be made for convergence. The gas pulsation in pipings is found to have an adverse effect on the compressor's performance, and the magnitude of the gas pulsation can be lowered by increasing snubber volume.

A disturbance flow at piping bands and discontinuous regions such as a valve, a header has a intense broadband internal pressure field and a sound field which are propagated through the piping system The fields becomes the source of a vibration of this piping system. Intense broadband disturbance flow at a discontinuous region such as elbows, valves or headers generates an acoustical pulsation. The pulsation becomes the source of structural vibration at the piping system. If it coincides with the natural frequency of the pipe system, excessive vibration results. High-level vibration due to the pressure pulsation affects the reliability of the plant piping system. This paper discusses the high vibration and the branch vent pipe's failure of condensate-water supply piping system due to the effect of acoustical pulsations by flow turbulence from the flow control valves of globe type in a power site.

Flow pulsation in the gap connecting with two parallel channels is investigated by RANS and URANS approaches. The two parallel channels are connected by a small channel called for a gap. The parallel channels are designed to have different cross section area with its ratio of 0.5. Computations are conducted using a CFX 11.0 code. The bulk Reynolds number is 60,000. Predicted results are compared with the previous experimental data. Mean velocity profile at the center of gap region are compared with experiments for its validation. Spectral analysis on the lateral velocity in the center of the gap was performed. Auto correlation for the axial-flow velocity pattern was presented. The unsteady structure of the flow pulsation was visualized in the region of the gap in the parallel channel.

The nuclear reactor coolant pump transferring heat energy inherently brings with it the unsteady flow and inevitably threatens to the safe operation of the pump unit, especially with the pressure pulsation induced by the rotor-stator interaction. In this paper, the characteristics of pressure pulsation of the diffuser in a nuclear reactor coolant pump were investigated by the numerical simulation with experimental validation. Pressure pulsation signals measured synchronously from sensors mounted on the radial diffuser of a model pump were analyzed via Welch's method. Frequency components induced by the rotor-stator interaction can be revealed by the diameter mode analysis method. The pressure pulsation of the diffuser is dominated by the blade passing frequency and its harmonics, which are free from the effect of flow rate and rotational speed while the corresponding amplitudes are easily affected by different operational conditions and measuring positions. The non-uniformity is much more affected by the rotational speed than the flow rate. This research is helpful for further work to reduce the pressure pulsation for the reactor coolant pump.

The effect of mechanical factors and season of the year on milking characteristics (milk yield, time of milking, rate of milk flow, stripping time and tripping milk) were studied on 26 Holstein Friesian cows, raised under Saudi Arabia environmental conditions. Cows were in the third and fourth lactation and reached the peak. Cows milked twice a day with equal intervals. Three vacuum levels (34, 38 and 42 cfm) and two pulsation ratios were used to form six vacuum-pulsation combinations. The study was carried during two seasons Autumn-Winter (S1) and Spring-Summer (S2). After absorbing the cow equations least square analysis was used to analyze the data. Vacuum level 38 cfm and pulsation ratio 70:30 was the best among all combinations of vacuum level-pulsation ratio. No significant effect (p < .01) for season, up to the seventh half minute, on the rate of milk flow. However, season of the year has a significant effect on total milk yield, stripping time and stripping milk.

In this paper, an expansion-resonator type pulsation attenuator is proposed to absorb and attenuate flow an pressure ripple with high frequencies generated from hydraulic control systems. The basic principle of a pulsation attenuator proposed here is applied to propagation, reflection, absorption of pressure waves at the cross section of discontinuity and resonance in the pipeline. It has advantage of the compact size and high degree fo freedom for installation in hydraulic systems. The design scheme based on distributed parameter pipeline system with dissipative viscous compressible model is developed. To investigate the reduction of flow and pressure ripple with high frequencies produced by swash plate type axial piston pump, two kinds of attenuators are manufactured. It is experimently confirmed that the spectral intensity of flow and pressure ripple with high frequencies from the pump are reduced up to about 20$^{\circ}$~30dB by using attenuators proposed here. The calculated results were in good agreement with the measured values. From there sults of this study, it is shown that an expansion-resonator type pulsation attenuator is effective in a wide frequency ranges to attenuate the flow and pressure ripple from hydraulic components.

With hydraulic noise test facility, a variety of tests were performed to investigate the pulsation pressure generation mechanism and its transmission characteristics and to derive the noise control methodology. Many experiments were carried out by changing average pressure, flow rate, pump speed, hose length and MCV spool condition. From the test results, the correlations between pulsation pressure and other design parameters, such as static pressure, flow rate and MCV spool opening area and length of hose, were found out. And also each contribution factors were evaluated from the regression analysis. By changing hose length, the pulsation pressure resonance phenomenon was investigated. In order to find out the pulsation pressure reduction measures pulsation pressure analysis, such as pulsation pressure of hydraulic pump itself and pulsation pressure of hydraulic system, by using AMESim were studied. In addition hydraulic silencer was developed based on the Helmholtz resonator. And its performance was evaluated by installing the silencer at the excavator.

We propose a simulation technique to estimate the reduction effect of the pressure/flow pulsation by analysis of the pulsation variables and notch shape of the valve plate of a swash-plate-type variable piston pump. First, using SimulationX$^{(R)}$, we perform a theoretical kinematic analysis according to the variable swash-plate angle and rotational velocity in order to design a single-piston pump. In designing the notch shape of the valve plate of the swash-plate-type variable piston pump as one of the pulsation variables, we investigate the effect of the pulsation by comparing two notch types (circular type and V type). Then, we extend our analysis to a nine-piston pump model. This paper not only confirms the effect of the pressure/flow pulsation according to pulsation variables but can also be applied to the development of a SimulationX$^{(R)}$-based simulation technique for notch-shape optimization for a swash-plate-type variable piston pump.

A theoretical study for the flux enhancement by pulsation of transmembrane pressure is presented for osmotic pressure controlled ultrafiltration under laminar flow regime. The transient velocity profile is solved analytically using Green's function method. Time dependent convective diffusive equation is solved to quantify the membrane surface concentration and the permeate flux, numerically. The effects of the amplitude and frequency of pulsation on flux, surface concentration and observed retention are studied.
