  2. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The gas flow is along a straight line from gas inlet to exhaust gas exit. The gas flow behavior is compressible. There are numerous applications where a steady, uniform, isentropic flow is a good approximation to the flow in conduits. These include the flow through a jet engine, through the nozzle of a rocket, from a broken gas line, and past ...

  3. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    In fluid dynamics, an isentropic flow is a fluid flow that is both adiabatic and reversible. That is, no heat is added to the flow, and no energy transformations occur due to friction or dissipative effects. For an isentropic flow of a perfect gas, several relations can be derived to define the pressure, density and temperature along a streamline.

  4. Prandtl–Meyer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_function

    In aerodynamics, the Prandtl–Meyer function describes the angle through which a flow turns isentropically from sonic velocity (M=1) to a Mach (M) number greater than 1. The maximum angle through which a sonic ( M = 1) flow can be turned around a convex corner is calculated for M = ∞ {\displaystyle \infty } .

  5. Cauchy number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_number

    For isentropic processes, the Cauchy number may be expressed in terms of Mach number. The isentropic bulk modulus K s = γ p {\displaystyle K_{s}=\gamma p} , where γ {\displaystyle \gamma } is the specific heat capacity ratio and p is the fluid pressure.

  6. de Laval nozzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle

    The analysis of gas flow through de Laval nozzles involves a number of concepts and assumptions: For simplicity, the gas is assumed to be an ideal gas. The gas flow is isentropic (i.e., at constant entropy). As a result, the flow is reversible (frictionless and no dissipative losses), and adiabatic (i.e., no heat enters or leaves the system).

  7. Degree of reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_of_Reaction

    And 2 to 3s is the isentropic process from rotor inlet at 2 to rotor outlet at 3. The velocity triangle [2] (Figure 2.) for the flow process within the stage represents the change in fluid velocity as it flows first in the stator or the fixed blades and then through the rotor or the moving blades. Due to the change in velocities there is a ...

    General Hospital just bid goodbye to a major character. During the Friday, Dec. 13 episode, fan-favorite Dex Heller, played by Evan Hofer, met his demise. Dex had been expected to make a full ...

  9. Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_expansion_fan

    When a flow turns around a smooth and circular corner, these waves can be extended backwards to meet at a point. Each wave in the expansion fan turns the flow gradually (in small steps). It is physically impossible for the flow to turn through a single "shock" wave because this would violate the second law of thermodynamics. [1]
