Chapter 9, Problem 9.20P
The pressure fluctuations in a pipe filled with air at 20 °C at about 1 atm is to be measured using a static wall tap, rigid connecting tubing, and a diaphragm pressure transducer. The transducer has a natural frequency of 100,000 Hz. For a tap and tubing diameter of 3.5 mm, a tube length of 0.25 m, and a transducer dead volume of 1,600 mm3, estimate the resonance frequency of the system. What is the maximum frequency that this system can measure with no more than a 10% dynamic error? Plot the frequency response of the system.
