Abstract: This paper presents a high-order, lumped parameter, jet-dynamic model for laminar proportional amplifiers (LPA’s). The governing equations for the lumped-parameter representation of the flow regimes ...

Abstract: This paper presents several new developments in fluidic circuit design. The use of orifices and capillaries, as input and feedback resistors, and vice-versa, in an operational amplifier circuit ...

Abstract: This paper discusses series and parallel topologies of orifices and capillaries as fluidic resistors and the way that they relate to temperature sensitivity and temperature compensation. Examination ...

Abstract: This paper presents a feedback approach to the design of fluidic sensor circuits that will minimize drift and other unwanted offset effects, that are due to component asymmetries, and at the ...

Abstract: Described in this report is an analytical and experimental investigation of fluidic capillary temperature sensors and subsequent matching to a fluidic laminar gain block. Experimental sensor/gain-block ...

Abstract: This paper presents a computer aided procedure for the design of laminar proportional fluid amplifiers and gain blocks. The procedure is based upon a fundamental analysis of the flow regimes ...

Abstract: Protype fluidic capillary pyrometers (FCP) were designed and fabricated to measure elevated temperatures for several field applications. The device utilizes a viscosity and, hence, temperature-sensitive ...
