ABSTRACT
A mathematical model for a typical pressure-regulating valve was developed in Chapter 11, Section 11.3. This model demonstrates the general operation of the valve and can be used to establish the desired magnitude of basic operating parameters. Generally the basic model is used to establish reasonable values for the geometry of the valve parts. Values for these parameters are listed in Table 11.1. Knowledge of desired valve performance serves as a guide in establishing parameter values. Many variations are possible, in the listed parameters, and in establishing desired valve configuration. Results of the solution of the model equations, as displayed in Figures 11.4 to 11.6, indicate that the model provides a reasonable simulation of the valve.
