Chapter 2 - Gas Flow through <strong>Two</strong>-<strong>Stroke</strong> <strong>Engines</strong><br />

(b) at the junction faces<br />

Fig. 2.13 Unsteady flow at a three-way branch.<br />

The incident pressure waves are pn, pj2, <strong>and</strong> pj3 <strong>and</strong> the ensuing reflections are <strong>of</strong> pressures<br />

pri, pr2, <strong>and</strong> pr3. The superposition states are psi, pS2, <strong>and</strong> ps3.<br />

Therefore, the theoretical solution involves expansion <strong>of</strong> Eqs. 2.9.3 <strong>and</strong> 2.9.4 to deal with<br />

the superposition state <strong>and</strong> mass flow rate <strong>of</strong> the extra pipe 3 at the junction. Benson's criterion<br />

inherently assumes isentropic flow.<br />

Psl = Ps2 = Ps3<br />

or Xji + Xri - 1 = XJ2 + Xr2 - 1 = Xj3 + Xr3 - 1<br />

The net mass flow rate at the junction is zero:<br />

Ai(Xii - Xri) + A2(Xi2 - Xr2) + A3(Xi3 - Xr3) = 0<br />

(2.13.1)<br />

(2.13.2)<br />

There are three equations to solve for the three unknowns, Xri, Xr2 <strong>and</strong> Xr3. It is presumed<br />

that in the course <strong>of</strong> any computation we know the values <strong>of</strong> all incident pressure<br />

waves from one calculation time step to another.<br />
