Why not calculate the velocities rather than guessing? A raw feed from the transducer should show the oscillation frequency.can12345 said:First of all when fluid is coming and crushing with diaphragm and extending it, the deflection rate is so small but when it goes back it makes back flow. and velocities are really small I guess, but my advisor wants me to know it.

Pressure loss in a transmission line is the decrease in pressure that occurs as a fluid moves through a pipe or channel. This can be caused by friction between the fluid and the inner walls of the pipe, changes in elevation, or restrictions in the flow path.
Pressure loss in a reducing union, filter, and L pipe can be calculated using the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which takes into account factors such as the fluid velocity, pipe diameter, and roughness of the pipe walls. Alternatively, it can also be calculated using pressure loss charts specific to the type of fitting and the fluid being transported.
Several factors can affect pressure loss in a transmission line, including the type of fluid being transported, the flow rate, the diameter and length of the pipe, the roughness of the pipe walls, and the presence of any fittings or restrictions in the flow path.
Analyzing pressure loss in a transmission line is important because it allows engineers to determine the efficiency of the system and identify any potential issues that may arise. It also helps in selecting the appropriate piping and fittings to minimize pressure loss and optimize the performance of the system.
Pressure loss in a transmission line can be reduced by increasing the pipe diameter, minimizing the length of the pipe, using smoother pipe materials, and avoiding unnecessary bends or fittings. Additionally, regular maintenance and cleaning of the system can also help to reduce pressure loss over time.
