Loss-compensated photoelastic fiber optic pressure sensor

Applied Optics, 1989
A fiber optic pressure sensor based on the photoelastic effect has been set up in a four-port polariscope. The down lead insensitivity is achieved by application of the balanced bridge referencing technique. The sensor has an excellent insensitivity to source intensity fluctuations as well as mode dependent and mode independent changes in the damping ...

Pressure Management Helps Reduce Losses

Opflow, 1999
This article discusses pressure management, which is the practice of controlling the amount of water pressure by decreasing it where it is excessive, maintaining it where it is sufficient, and sustaining it where it is weak or unpredictable. Topics covered include: management by sector; pump control; throttled system valves; fixed outlet hydraulic ...

Evaluation of Pressure Oscillator Losses

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006
Efficiencies of regenerative cryocoolers are influenced by losses within the pressure oscillator (Stirling‐type compressor). An evaluation of these losses is important when searching for ways to improve the overall cryocooler efficiency. Typically, compressor efficiency is taken as the ratio of PV power of the piston(s) to electrical input power.

Conductive hearing loss associated with pressure equalization tubes

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 2000
Pressure equalization (PE) tube placement traditionally has been used to lessen conductive hearing loss with chronic middle ear effusion. It is assumed that the small diameter of the tube should not interfere with the conduction of sound. In this article we present 5 patients in whom placement of a PE tube resulted in significantly worse conductive ...

Perceptive Hearing Loss and Increased Intracranial Pressure

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1968
PREVIOUS AUTHORS are in disagreement whether or not an increased pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid affects hearing ability. The present study is based on a correlation between hearing for pure tones and intracranial pressure. Pressure is evaluated by direct measurements of the intraventricular pressure as well as an estimation of papilledema in the ...

Noise-induced hearing loss and blood pressure

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1990
The study was carried out on 85 workers with long-term exposure to noise levels exceeding 85 dB(A). The control group consisted of 85 workers who had never been exposed to noise levels greater than recommended, i.e. 85 dB(A), in their working environment. All the workers in the exposed group had hearing loss which was confirmed by audiometry.

Theoretical prediction of pressure loss in pressurized plastic containers

Polymer Engineering & Science, 1973
AbstractRelations describing the time dependence of pressure loss in pressurized plastic containers are presented and discussed. These relations are expected to be useful in predicting the shelf life performance of pressurized plastic containers in applications such as aerosol and carbonated beverage containers.

Evaluation of Jet-Bit Pressure Losses

SPE Drilling Engineering, 1989
Summary An experimental and theoretical study was conducted to resolve discrepancies between observed and calculated pressure losses for fluids flowing through the nozzles of jet bits. The use of a nozzle discharge coefficient of 0.95, which is commonly used for roller-cone bits, results in the calculated pressure drop being up to 30 ...

Pressure losses in pneumatic transport

1982
A model is derived to calculate the pressure losses originating from the dilute phase pneumatic transport of coarse particles in the horizontal stationary flow regime. The model is based on the balance of drag forces and frictional forces acting on the particles during pneumatic transport.
