  2. Rocket engine nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_engine_nozzle

    The gas flow rate is constant (i.e., steady) during the period of the propellant burn. The gas flow is non-turbulent and axisymmetric from gas inlet to exhaust gas exit (i.e., along the nozzle's axis of symmetry). The flow is compressible as the fluid is a gas. As the combustion gas enters the rocket nozzle, it is traveling at subsonic velocities.

  3. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Choked flow is a limiting condition where the mass flow cannot increase with a further decrease in the downstream pressure environment for a fixed upstream pressure and temperature. For homogeneous fluids, the physical point at which the choking occurs for adiabatic conditions is when the exit plane velocity is at sonic conditions; i.e., at a ...

    Campbell Diagram of a steam turbine. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Analysis shows that there are well-damped critical speed at lower speed range. Another critical speed at mode 4 is observed at 7810 rpm (130 Hz) in dangerous vicinity of nominal shaft speed, but it has 30% damping - enough to ...

  5. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    The three diagrams are constructed from the P–alpha diagram by using appropriate coordinate transformations. Not a thermodynamic diagram in a strict sense, since it does not display the energy–area equivalence, is the Stüve diagram; But due to its simpler construction it is preferred in education. [citation needed]

  6. Flow (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a flow formalizes the idea of the motion of particles in a fluid. Flows are ubiquitous in science, including engineering and physics. The notion of flow is basic to the study of ordinary differential equations. Informally, a flow may be viewed as a continuous motion of points over time.

  7. de Laval nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle

    Diagram of a de Laval nozzle, showing approximate flow velocity (v), together with the effect on temperature (T) and pressure (p) A de Laval nozzle (or convergent-divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con-di nozzle) is a tube which is pinched in the middle, with a rapid convergence and gradual divergence.

  8. Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_expansion_fan

    The first Mach line is at an angle = ⁡ with respect to the flow direction, and the last Mach line is at an angle = ⁡ with respect to final flow direction. Since the flow turns in small angles and the changes across each expansion wave are small, the whole process is isentropic. [ 1 ]
