A pulsation damper is usually mounted on the fuel rail to diminish undesirable noise in the vehicle cabin room. However, pulsation dampers are quite expensive. Therefore, several studies have focused on reducing fuel pressure pulsations by increasing the self-damping characteristics of the fuel rail. This paper is a basic study in the development of a fuel rail that can reduce pulsations via a self-damping effect. In this study, the pressure pulsation characteristics were of investigated with respect to the aspect ratio of the cross section, wall thickness, and fuel rail material through oil hammer simulations. An oil hammer simulation was performed in advance to simulate the pressure pulsations at the resonant speed, which is a time-saving way. The pressure pulsation peak of fuel rail was observed to rise as the injection period increases. Increase of the aspect ratio and decrease of the wall thickness can reduce the pressure pulsation efficiently.

The propagation of pump-induced pressure pulsation in a reactor is important because of the potential for vibration and resultant damage of reactor internals. A hydrodynamic model has been developed to obtain the pressure fluctuation due to the operation of pumps in the annulus(between the core support barrel and reactor vessel of a pressurized water reactor) including the coolant inlet pipe. The mathematical analysis is formulated in accordance with the linearized Navier-Stokes equation by assuming a compressible, inviscid flow. Two regions are considered separately and by coupling the solutions of the inlet pipe and the annulus, the inlet nozzle pressure(pressure at pipe and annulus interface) is to be calculated without assumptions. The geometric parameter effect on the pump-induced pressure pulsation is evaluated. Comparison of predicted and measured inlet nozzle pressure values for each forcing frequency shows good order of magnitude agreement.

In general, pulsation damper is installed in fuel rail for conventional MPI engine to decrease undesirable noise in vehicle cabin room. However, pulsation damper is so expensive that there are prevailing studies to reduce fuel pressure pulsations with integrated damping effect. This paper is one of basic studies for development of fuel rail to abate pulsations with self-damping effect. Primarily, the pressure pulsation characteristics was investigated with aspect ratio of cross section, wall thickness, and materials of fuel rail. A high aspect ratio or thin wall was found to absorb the pressure pulsations effectively. But volume effects on the fuel pressure pulsation reductions were not especially significant than cross section effects because volume increment rate is larger than pressure pulsation reduction rate. The fuel rail made of aluminum is effective for reduction of pressure pulsation than that of low-carbon steel. Pressure change period increases on the basis of same lengths of supply line and fuel rail as the volume is enlarged and/or the thickness of wall is thinned.

An analyzing method for pressure fluctuations in oil hydraulic pipe network was developed in this study. The object pipe network has multi-branch configuration, and the pipelines of it are composed of steel tubes, flexible hoses. Also, accumulators, orifices and lumped oil volume components are attached on it. Transfer matrix method, in other words impedance method, was used for the analysis. The reliability and usefulness of the analyzing method were confirmed by investigation computed results and experimental results got in this study.

An experimental study of thermal transport from a uniformly heated pipe to a pulsating flow has been carried out. Surface of the pipe is imposed with constant heat flux providing by electric heating band. This problem is of particular interest in the design of Stirling engine heat exchangers and in understanding the blood flow in the aorta. Temporal Variatiens of temperature and pressure inside the circular pipe are measured. The dependence of temperature distributions and heat transfer rate on the mean flow rate in the pipe and on the pulsating frequency is investigated in detail. The experimental results indicate that the measured temporal variations of temperature and pressure become nearly sinusoidal The amplitude of temperature variation near the pipe wall is much more substantial than that in core of the pipe. It is also found that the heat transfer rate is increased significantly as the frequency of the pulsating pressure is increased or the mean flow rate in a pipe is increased. The results obtained are also compared with those for non-pulsating flow circumstance.

This paper reports on the theoretical and experimental study of the pressure ripples in a pressure unbalanced type vane pump which have widespread use in industry. Because they can infinitely vary the volume of the fluid pumped in the system by a control. Pressure ripples occur due to the flow ripples induced by geometry of side plate, leakage flow, reverse flow from the outlet volume produced by pressure difference between pumping chamber and outlet volume when the pumping chamber connected with the outlet volume. In this paper, we measured the pressure variation of a pumping chamber, reaction force on a cam ring, the mathematical model for analyzing the pressure ripples which included vane detachment and fluid inertia effects in notch area has been presented, and was applied to predict the level and the wave form of the pressure ripples according to operating conditions.

The pressure ripple in the delivery port is caused by flow ripple, which is induced by variation of pumping chamber volume. The other reason is the reverse flow from the outlet volume produced by pressure difference between pumping chamber and outlet volume, when the pumping chamber is connected with the outlet volume. In this study, a mathematical model is presented for analyzing discharge pressure ripple, which includes vane detachment, cam ring movement , and fluid inertia effects in V-groove in the side plate. From the analysis and experiment, it was found that V-groove on the side plate, coefficient of spring supporting the cam ring, and average discharge pressure are the main factors of discharge pressure ripple in variable displacement vane pump. The theoretical results, provided in this study, were well agreed with experimental results. The analytical model to estimate the magnitude of pressure ripple in this study is expected to be used f3r the optimal design of the variable displacement vane pump.

This paper deals with pressure ripple attenuation far separated-type Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) consisting ova variable axial piston pump connected in an open loop to a fried displacement axial piston motor. Pressure ripples in HST is major source of vibration which can lead to fatigue failure of components and cause noise. In order to reduce the pressure ripple, an annular tube tripe hydraulic filter is proposed to attenuate pressure ripples with the high frequencies components to achieve better noise reduction in HST. The basic principle of a hydraulic filter is allied to propagation of pressure wave, reflection, absorption in cross section of discontinuity and resonance in the hydraulic pipeline. It is experimentally shown that the hydraulic filter attenuates about 30∼40dB of pressure ripple with high frequencies. These results will assist in modeling and design of noise reduction in hydraulic control systems, and provide a means of designing a quieter HST.

This paper presents experimental investigations on the attenuation characteristics of pressure ripple in automotive power steering hydraulic hoses. Also, a mathematical model of hydraulic hoses is proposed to support design of the power steering hydraulic circuit and analyze the attenuation characteristics of pressure ripples. The experimental results show that the pulsation attenuation characteristics of hydraulic hoses is remarkably affected by the flexible metal tube inserted coaxially inside a hydraulic hose with a finite length as well as viscoelastic properties of hose wall. It is also shown that the predicted results by the model proposed here agree well with the measured results over a wied range of frequency.
