Abstract
Switched inertance converters use digital valves to exploit the inertia of a flow in order to trade flow for pressure or vice versa. These components can be used to efficiently match load and supply pressures, avoiding the energy wasted by using resistive valves. While theoretical switched inertance converters can be highly efficient, practical implementations suffer from a number of energy losses. One of these losses is the valve switching loss: the energy wasted due to the flow experiencing a pressure drop across the partially open valve as the digital valve shifts from one position to the other. This paper quantifies the effect of this loss on the valve’s overall performance. Two novel strategies for mitigating this effect are introduced: a shaped inertance tube design and positioning of the tank-flow valve along the length of the inertance tube.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
