1 Abstract The paper presents a hydraulic astable multivibrator system. The system consists of hydraulic resistors, hydraulic capacitors and hydraulic pressure controlled valves. The system is designed, realised and tested. The measured system behaviour agrees well with the model simulations. The free running frequency of the multivibrator is 0.18 Hz and the output pressure swing is 90% of the ...

We analyze the motion of viscous and incompressible liquids in the annular space of controllable hydraulic resistances with a cylindrical linear slide-valve. This theoretical study focuses on the turbulent and steady-state motion regimes. The hydraulic resistances mentioned above are the most frequent type of hydraulic resistances used in hydraulic actuators and automation systems. To study the...

This paper describes the implementation of a real-time hydraulic model of a water distribution system in Singapore. This on-line system is based on the Integration of real-time hydraulic data with hydraulic computer simulation models and statistical prediction tools. To facilitate this implementation, a network of wireless sensor nodes continuously sample hydraulic data such as pressure and flo...

In order to study the numerical control (NC) servo press hydraulic control system and its control algorithm. The numerical control servo press performance and control principle of hydraulic control system are analyzed. According to the flow equation of the hydraulic control valve, hydraulic cylinder flow continuity equation and the force balance equation of the hydraulic cylinder with load pres...

Abstract In general two basic methods are used for controlling the velocity of a hydraulic cylinder. First by an axial variable-displacement pump for controls flow to the cylinder. This configuration is commonly known as a hydrostatic transmission. Second by proportional valve powered by a constant-pressure source, such as a pressure compensated pump, drives the hydraulic cylinder. In this stud...

1 Hans Kleine Büning, Benno Stein ABSTRACT Configuration is a process of creating complex systems out of a finite set of predefined objects. This process may enclose the selection, the assemblage and the adaptation of these objects. In this paper we want to describe how the configuration of hydraulic plants can be supported. A hydraulic plant is a complex system that consists of electronic, mec...

The present work gives an in depth discussion related to the development of a hybrid advanced oxidation reactor, which can be effectively used for the treatment of various types of water. The reactor is based on the principle of intensifying degradation/disinfection using a combination of hydrodynamic cavitation, acoustic cavitation, ozone injection and electrochemical oxidation/precipitation. ...

A lysimeter station has been set up by AMRA for the study of the reactive transport of contaminants in soil at the field-scale. It consists of eight lysimeters that can operate individually and simultaneously. Each lysimeter is a steel cylinder (diameter 1.14m, height 2m) filled with an undisturbed soil monolith, whose upper surface is directly exposed to the external environmental agents. A se...
