  2. Diffuser (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffuser_(thermodynamics)

    A diffuser is "a device for reducing the velocity and increasing the static pressure of a fluid passing through a system”. [1] The fluid's static pressure rise as it passes through a duct is commonly referred to as pressure recovery. In contrast, a nozzle is used to increase the discharge velocity and lower the pressure of a fluid passing ...

  3. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    The viscous friction causes the flow properties to change along the duct. The frictional effect is modeled as a shear stress at the wall acting on the fluid with uniform properties over any cross section of the duct. For a flow with an upstream Mach number greater than 1.0 in a sufficiently long duct, deceleration occurs and the flow can become ...

  4. Static pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_pressure

    At least one author takes a different approach in order to avoid a need for the expression freestream static pressure. Gracey has written "The static pressure is the atmospheric pressure at the flight level of the aircraft". [15] [16] Gracey then refers to the air pressure at any point close to the aircraft as the local static pressure.

  5. "Hello, World!" program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/"Hello,_World!"_program

    A "Hello, World!"program is usually a simple computer program that emits (or displays) to the screen (often the console) a message similar to "Hello, World!".A small piece of code in most general-purpose programming languages, this program is used to illustrate a language's basic syntax.

  6. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    Technically speaking, most pressure sensors are really differential pressure sensors; for example a gauge pressure sensor is merely a differential pressure sensor in which one side is open to the ambient atmosphere. A DP cell is a device that measures the differential pressure between two inputs. [2]

  7. Darcy–Weisbach equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darcy–Weisbach_equation

    where the pressure loss per unit length ⁠ Δp / L ⁠ (SI units: Pa/m) is a function of: ρ {\displaystyle \rho } , the density of the fluid (kg/m 3 ); D H {\displaystyle D_{H}} , the hydraulic diameter of the pipe (for a pipe of circular section, this equals D ; otherwise D H = 4A/P for a pipe of cross-sectional area A and perimeter P ) (m);

  8. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The case of a converging-diverging nozzle allows a supersonic flow to occur, providing the receiver pressure is sufficiently low. This is shown in figure 3 assuming a constant reservoir pressure with a decreasing receiver pressure. If the receiver pressure is equal to the reservoir pressure, no flow occurs, represented by curve A.

  9. Duct (flow) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duct_(flow)

    Sealing leaks in air ducts reduces air leakage, optimizes energy efficiency, and controls the entry of pollutants into the building. Before sealing ducts it is imperative to ensure the total external static pressure of the duct work, and if equipment will fall within the equipment manufacturer's specifications.
