AI Thread Summary
Nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs) can be constructed using various materials, with copper wire being a common choice for the conductors. While traditional components like capacitors and inductors are often utilized, the use of specialized nonlinear materials can enhance performance. Coaxial cables may also be adapted for NLTL applications by manipulating capacitance through the outer mesh. The discussion highlights the potential for using simple materials while exploring their limitations. Overall, the choice of materials significantly impacts the functionality and efficiency of nonlinear transmission lines.

Hello All,

I was doing some *basic* reading about nonlinear transmission lines and I was wondering what people make them out of? Is there a special nonlinear material that is used or does one simply use copper wire and caps and inductors? would it be possible to make one using simple coax cable since I imagine that one could create variances in capacitance by putting a signal through the outer wire mesh. Maybe not. Any thughts?

Thanks,
Jason O

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
