How Do You Calculate Air Surge Tank Fluctuations for Engine Intakes?

AI Thread Summary
Calculating air surge tank fluctuations for engine intakes involves understanding the dynamics of compressed air systems and their impact on downstream performance. Key areas of study include engine inlet and exhaust tuning, transmission line theory, and the principles of Helmholtz resonators. Acoustic modeling techniques are also crucial for accurate predictions of fluctuations. Resources such as the Engineering Toolbox can provide foundational knowledge. Comprehensive study in these areas will enhance the effectiveness of surge tank design.

I am going to be working on some calculations for an air surge tank to minimize fluctuations downstream of the tank in an engin'e intake syste, Any suggestions/sources where I could study for this?

Thank you!

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
