We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

When trying to solve the harmonic acoustic wave propagation in a pipe in time domain – is there any relationship between P and Mass source excitation transient Q? It looks to be different than Q = 2P/C.

      Regarding transient analyses, the mass source term becomes mass source rate, meaning it has units of kg/m/s^2 (over an area), so one would take the time derivative of Q (e.g., if Q=Qo exp(jwt) and Qo=2*rho/c, then the mass source rate is dQ/dt or Qo*jw*exp(jwt) when constructing the time-history loading).
