<p>Fluid and fuel delivery systems reducing pressure fluctuation. Such systems use a conduit that attenuates pressure fluctuations. Preferably, the conduit attenuates pressure fluctuations by reflecting a portion of a pressure wave within the fluid flow so that reflected pressure waves within the flow interfere with incident pressure waves within the flow, thereby reducing the pressure fluctuations. In one embodiment, such a conduit may be formed as a quarter wave stub, in line with the fluid flow. Advantageously, exemplary of the invention, hoot noise in an engine may be reduced by damping pressure fluctuations in the fuel delivery system to the engine.</p> |
