Model of Response of Pressure Sensor in Rarefied Flow

A mathematical model represents the dynamic response of a pressure sensor that (a) comprises a transducer connected to a pressure-sensing port via a pneumatic tube and (b) is operated under flow conditions like those expected to be encountered on advanced hypersonic aerospace vehicles operating at high altitudes. The model is applicable to both continuum and rarefied flows, including flows accompanied by large gradients of temperature.
