Pulse piston modeling

Weber (1973) has put forth a rather simple approach to pulsed piston modeling which couples the gas and solid behavior. The expression that Weber suggested is given in Eq. (9). One notes that this expression has an exponential decay of the pressure as the plug length decreases. This behavior has often been seen in industrial operations. 

In order to damp almost completely the pulses generated at high pressure in a dual-head, special-drive piston reciprocating pump, the electronic correction circuitry in the Altex Model 100 pump calculates the average back-pressure and then corrects the speed of the pump motor so as to maintain the actual pressure close to the average calculated pressure. The effect of this correction is to speed up the motor momentarily when pumping is switched from one piston to the...
