3. Characteristics of an electro-pneumatic power modulator
3.1 Compressible fluid flow laws
An electro-pneumatic power modulator controls gas energy transfer by driving variable-area orifices.
For compressible fluids, the mass flow through each passage section is a function of the pressures upstream and downstream of the section in question. ISO 6358-1989 proposes a mathematical approximation of the laws of flow through a fixed restriction using two parameters:
the sonic conductance C, expressed in m 3 · s –1 · Pa –1 , the image of the effective cross-sectional area of the component determined in the sonic regime;
