In order <strong>to</strong> update the boundary conditions, the<br />
first and the last segments are considered as<br />
two volumes (Xue and Yuzri, 2005).<br />
The equation used <strong>to</strong> calculate the mass flow rate<br />
passing through the orifice is used, which is:<br />

���1� M d is the mass flow rate passing the orifice<br />
while Cd is the discharge coefficient. A is the ori‐<br />
fice cross‐sectional area, Pu is the upstream stag‐<br />
nation pressure (absolute), Tu is the upstream<br />
stagnation temperature (absolute), γ is the spe‐<br />
cific heat ratio and Pvc is the static pressure at the<br />
vena contracta or throat.<br />

Equation 4 is only valid when<br />
Otherwise the flow is considered <strong>to</strong> be choked and<br />
Cm will be constant at a value of 0.0405. Note that<br />
the ratio of specific heats g for air is 1.4.<br />

The transmission line diameter is first calibrated<br />
by experiment <strong>to</strong> determine the influence of the<br />
system pressure on<strong>to</strong> changes in its radial dimen‐<br />
sion. Highly incompressible liquid (water) is in‐<br />
jected in<strong>to</strong> a polyurethane transmission line<br />
which is blocked at one end. Different pressures<br />
are then applied <strong>to</strong> the other end. By recording<br />
changes in the liquid height, the transmission line<br />

It is assumed that the high pressure applied only ex‐<br />
pands the transmission line along the radial direction<br />
and do not influence the dimension along the axial<br />
direction. The initial volume occupied by the water is<br />

the relationship between the applied pressure and<br />
