Abstract: Measurement-integrated (MI) simulation is a numerical simulation in which experimental results are fed back to the simulation. The calculated values become closer to the experimental values. In ...

Abstract: This study proposes a new concept for quantifying the energy of flowing compressed air, called air power. Air power is defined as the work-producing potential of compressed air, and its ...

Abstract: Pneumatic servo valves play a significant role in power transmission and system control using a pressurized gas. When pressurized air passes through servo valves, noise and pressure fluctuations ...

Abstract: In this paper, two new methods for obtaining the sonic conductance and the critical pressure ratio of pneumatic valves are proposed. Both methods use a chamber that can approximate isothermal ...

Abstract: In this paper, a chamber called an “Isothermal Chamber” was developed. The isothermal chamber can almost realize isothermal condition due to larger heat transfer area and heat transfer coefficient ...

Abstract: The vortex gripper is a recently developed pneumatic noncontact handling device that takes advantage of air-swirling flow to cause upward lifting force and that thereby can pick up and hold a work piece placed underneath ...
