  2. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    Enthalpy and isochoric specific heat capacity are very useful mathematical constructs, since when analyzing a process in an open system, the situation of zero work occurs when the fluid flows at constant pressure. In an open system, enthalpy is the quantity which is useful to use to keep track of energy content of the fluid.

  3. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    The two first partial derivatives of the vdW equation are | = = | = + = where = is the isothermal compressibility (a measure of the relative increase of volume from an increase of pressure, at constant temperature), and = is the coefficient of thermal expansion (a measure of the relative increase of volume from an increase of temperature, at ...

  4. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Assuming the Fanning friction factor is a constant along the duct wall, the differential equation can be solved easily. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] One must keep in mind, however, that the value of the Fanning friction factor can be difficult to determine for supersonic and especially hypersonic flow velocities.

  5. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Δp is the pressure difference between the two ends, L is the length of pipe, μ is the dynamic viscosity, Q is the volumetric flow rate, R is the pipe radius, A is the cross-sectional area of pipe. The equation does not hold close to the pipe entrance. [8]: 3 The equation fails in the limit of low viscosity, wide and/or short pipe.

  6. Betz's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betz's_law

    This is a control-volume analysis; the control volume must contain all incoming and outgoing flow in order to use the conservation equations. The flow is non-compressible. Density is constant, and there is no heat transfer. Uniform pressure is applied to the disk. (No radial dependence on pressure in this 1-D model.)

  7. Charles's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles's_law

    where V 100 is the volume occupied by a given sample of gas at 100 °C; V 0 is the volume occupied by the same sample of gas at 0 °C; and k is a constant which is the same for all gases at constant pressure. This equation does not contain the temperature and so is not what became known as Charles's Law.

  8. Communicating vessels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_vessels

    A set of communicating vessels Animation showing the filling of communicating vessels. Communicating vessels or communicating vases [1] are a set of containers containing a homogeneous fluid and connected sufficiently far below the top of the liquid: when the liquid settles, it balances out to the same level in all of the containers regardless of the shape and volume of the containers.

  9. Bernoulli's principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernoulli's_principle

    The low pressure in the throat can be explained by Bernoulli's principle, where air in the throat is moving at its fastest speed and therefore it is at its lowest pressure. The carburetor may or may not use the difference between the two static pressures which result from the Venturi effect on the air flow in order to force the fuel to flow ...
