This study introduces an experimental method that can measure air pressures in the vane segments when a sliding-vane rotary compressor performs suction and compression phases in stable or unstable rotational speeds. When the air pressures of these two phases can be measured, the intake effect of the compressor’s inlet and the seal effect of the vane segments can be evaluated, respectively. Because a frequency converter provides unstable rotational speeds when it controls rotational speeds of a motor with a compressor, an encoder mounted on the output shaft of the motor was applied to record the angular location of the compressor rotor. Two strain gauge type pressure transducers were inserted into the cover plate of the compressor to measure air pressures in the vane segments. Comparing the signals of the encoder with pressure transducers, the air pressures in completions of suction and compression phases could be determined in stable or unstable rotational speeds. The air pressures when the compressor performed suction and compression phases were 99.5 kPa and 153 kPa, respectively, in 1400 rpm. The air pressure when the compressor performed suction phase decreased with the rotational speed faster than 800 rpm. The size or shape of the inlet port of the compressor should be enlarged or modified to provide the suction air pressure without dropping too much. The designed air pressure when the compressor performed compression phase was 244 kPa in 140 rpm, the manufacture precision of the compressor should be increased to decrease leakage.

This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical investigation of the dynamic forces generated by a squeeze film bearing damper constrained to move in circular centered orbits. These orbits were mechanically produced in a specially designed, end sealed, test rig. Aircraft engine damper geometry and operating conditions were simulated. The effect of journal speed, oil viscosity, inlet pressure, and eccentricity ratio on the damper performance was studied. The pressure distributions about the journal were measured for each test condition by high-response diaphragm-type pressure transducers. These pressure profiles were numerically integrated to determine the force components of the squeeze film. Experimental results were compared to an analysis which is summarized in this paper and included the effects of inlet and cavitation pressures. The “long bearing theory” was found to be reasonably accurate in predicting the shape and magnitude of the pressure distribution. Considerable emphasis was directed to the study of the circumferential pressure distributions between 180 deg and 360 deg since aircraft engine dampers generally operate in this region. For the cavitated film (i.e., pressure distributions less than 360 deg), accurate prediction of the damper forces was found to be critically dependent on the effect of inlet and cavitation pressures.

General Method

Recess-mounted diaphragm-type pressure transducers are often used in measuring transient pressures. When the rise time of the source pressure is very fast, ringing of the transducer may occur. This study investigates the ringing of such a transducer numerically and experimentally for the purpose of developing a general method to recover transient source pressures. The approach is based on modeling the transient hydraulics of the measurement system. Favorable comparisons between the recovered pressure traces with those measured by a flush-mounted transducer were obtained. The proposed method makes recess-mounted transducers viable for measuring rapidly changing pressures in both liquid and gaseous media.

Many shallow undersea tunnels have been built to circulate the cooling water for the thermal or nuclear power stations in recent years. In current study, a field monitoring of tide-influenced earth pressure on the tunnel was carried out by using the pad type pressure transducers. The variation of tidal level was also recorded carefully. The measured results of earth pressures and the tidal height were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. It can be found that there is a linear relation between the variation of load and tidal height. The computed values of the loadings based on tunnel pressure theory are almost the same with measurements.

There is not much information available on the use of diaphragm-type pressure transducers for the measurement of unsteady pressures in liquids. A procedure for measuring the dynamic response of a pressure transducer in such applications and correcting for its inadequate response is discussed in this report. An example of the successful use of this method to determine unsteady surface pressures on a pitching airfoil in a water channel is presented.

<p class="Abstract">The effects of the kind of gas medium and the setting posture on the calibration values of a quartz Bourdon-type pressure transducer mounted vertically are evaluated in this study. The transducer, at the upward and downward settings, was calibrated both with nitrogen and with helium. The difference between the calibration values of the transducer with nitrogen at the upward and downward settings was about 7.0 kPa at 100 MPa. At the same setting posture, the maximum difference in the calibration values between nitrogen and helium was 3.4 kPa. For precise pressure measurement, it is recommended that the transducers are used with the same pressure medium and the same setting posture with which they were calibrated. The methods of reducing the effects of both the kind of gas medium and the setting posture are discussed. The average of two calibration values at the upward setting and at the downward setting was not affected by the kind of gas medium. When the sensing elements of two pressure transducers arranged in point symmetry with each other, the average values of two transducers were independent of both the kind of gas medium and the setting posture.</p>

The main objective of this study is to develop pressure-sensing systems by integrating pressure transducers with the interface circuitry in one package that can withstand harsh environments, particularly high temperatures up to 600°C. To achieve that, both pressure transducer and interface circuitry are individually required to operate and survive up to 600°C with acceptable degrees of reliability. This article reports performance evaluation of fabricated 4H-SiC Junction Field Effect Transistors along with differential pairs for use in the interface circuitry. The test results are very promising and show stable performances from 25°C up to 600°C. Moreover, design, fabrication, and early test (from 25°C up to 100°C) of an SiC-based circular diaphragm-type pressure transducer are also reported.
