certain temperature, which can be obtained by empirical
according to Eqs。 (1) – (4), the derivation of air humidity at outlet of cylinder is
expressions or look-up the table。 For Eq。 (1), when the condensation doesn’t occur, we can instead the absolute
humidity with initial absolute humidity。 Empirical expression is as follows:
With the increasing of s0, the saturation or super saturation is easier to reach。 s0 was defined as a comprehensive parameter。 Hence, the local speed of sound
is considered as constant, then A/V is an important
comprehensive parameter。
We can assume as follows[11]: (1) Viscous of air in pipe is very small and can be regard as ideal gas; (2) The pressure, temperature and density in cylinder is uniform; (3) There is no heat transfer between air and pipe wall, namely, the pipe wall is heat insulation, the flow of air in pipe is adiabatic
reversible; (4) The temperature of air in pipe is radial
4。2 Proposed comprehensive parameter based
on natural frequency and average speed
The average velocity of air um during discharge[3] is expressed as follows:
uniform distribution; (5) The relation ρ • (∂u/∂t) » u •
(∂p/∂x) stands while the flow is unsteady flow。
According to fluid net theory, the pressure and
temperature in Eq。 (1) can be derived from Eq。 (3) and
where A1is the effective section area at the outlet of
container, Zc is the characteristic impedance of pipe,
According to Eq。 (5), the partial derivatives of average
velocity to s0 and l/a can be obtained as follows:
where is the density of compressed air, u is the axial velocity, t is the time, ps is the initial absolute pressure of compressed air, p0 is the pressure variation of compressed
air at the beginning moment/initiation of discharging, s0 is a comprehensive system parameter, s0 = A • a/V。 a is the local speed of sound, n is the polytrophic exponent, Rg is the gas constant, s is the initial density of compressed air,
is the reflectance for flow resistance at the end of pipe,
here, ≈ −1。
Pressure, temperature, and corresponding saturated vapor pressure, relative humidity and the derivation of relative humidity at arbitrary time and position can be derived from Eqs。 (1) – (4), hence[3]
The above results show that the effect trend of s0 and l/a on average velocity is the same。 The larger s0 is, the bigger l/a and the lower average velocity are, the easier internal condensation occurs。 Therefore, s0l/a = Al/V was proposed as a comprehensive parameter of evaluating condensation and its physical interpret is motion performance of compressed air。 The comprehensive parameter is called dimensionless volume of discharging pipe and used to analyze internal condensation and external condensation instead of volume of container。 The discharging process can be considered to the spreading
process of decompression wave in system with natural frequency of fluid network theory[11]。 The system in Fig。 3,
