Abstract: An “exact” classical solution is presented for the linearized frequency domain characterization of a barotropic fluid in a rigid circular tube. The axial velocity profile (and thus, the phase ...

Abstract: The complete linear two-port admittance parameters of a short uniform pneumatic line are experimentally determined as functions of driving frequency and the steady through-flow in the line. The ...

Abstract: A direct thermal-to-pneumatic energy converter utilizing the principle of thermal transpiration through a porous membrane is described. The applicability of this no-moving-part pump to a fluidic ...

Abstract: A rational deterministic design procedure is presented for a class of distributed parameter multivariable plants described by linear scalar differential equations. The Galerkin projection method ...

Abstract: A model has been derived to predict the steady-state input-output characteristics of vortex amplifiers operating in the incompressible flow regime. The model was correlated with experimental data ...
