PRESSURE TRANSIENT FOURIER ANALYSIS EXPERIMENT Objectives 1. To calibrate a typical strain gage pressure transducer. 2. To determine by Fourier Analysis (harmonic analysis) the equation for a fluid dynamic transient curve and to compare the experimentally determined curve with a computer generated curve so as to determine the number of harmonics necessary to obtain reasonable accuracy. Discussion The transient flow of incompressible fluids in ducts of constant area is of importance in many fields of engineering. The fundamental significance of solving problems involving transient flow phenomena is that such solutions provide a complete history of the flow field and allow for detailed interpretation of how steady state conditions were obtained, and why certain characteristics and phenomena dominate once steady state conditions do exist. The fluid dynamic principles involved in conducting such transient studies are not within the framework of this course. We are, however, concerned with instrumentation and the proper evaluation of data obtained by means of mechanical measurements resulting from such studies. Of such concern here are the resulting dynamic (transient in this case) output signals. Such signal information as the fundamental frequency, the harmoniccomponents with their relative amplitudes, frequencies, and phase relations are often requested from the recorded waveform. This type of information is most easily obtained by performing a harmonic analysis of the output signal. The principle of a Fourier Analysis is that a given arbitrary function of a real variable, time in this case, can be represented as a sum of sine and cosine functions in which amplitudes of the functions are determined by the Fourier Analysis (see sections 2.4 and 2.5 of Reference 1). The time period in this experiment corresponds to the time period from initiation of flow to the completion of one full cycle of the pressure transient. A mathematical representation of the amplitudes to be determined in the present problem would appear as shown in the equation below, p(t) is the pressure curve fit reconstruction obtained by harmonic analysis of the experimental pressure trace, and the remaining symbols defined in Reference 1: ( )=++≈2/1sin2)(NnnnnotCAtpφω A computer program then solves for the coefficients and phase angles of the expansion. The program performs the DFT calculation described in Reference 1, Section 2.5. Equipment 1. Pressure transducer – Strain Gage type Viatran Model 119 2. Op Amplifier Circuit Board 3.
