Emre Cenker Flashcards
What is specific volume?
Inverse of density
What is compressibility of a fluid?
a measure of the relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change. Units of m2/N
v is volume
p is pressure
This is isothermal compressibility as it happens at constant temperture.

What is the mach number when flow is incompressiable
m<0.1
What is the ideal gas equation?
pv=Rt
R is the gas constant specific to that gas.
How do you find the specific gas constant of a gas?
8314 J/kmol.K ÷ molecular weight (kg/kmol)
How do you relate Cp and Cv?
Cp=Cv+R
Cp/Cv=υ
What is the ratio of specific heats?
υ=Cp/Cv
What is the speed of sound in a gas?
c=(υRT)0.5
What is the critcal velocity?
local speed of sound
What is hs?
Stagnation enthalpy. Sum of local enthalpy and local kinematic energy in flow.
At stagation points.
When do critical conditions occour?
When the local mach number Mi is 1
What is the critical temperture ratio?
Tlocal is the general temperture
Ts is the stagnation temperture (velcity = 0)

Mass flow rate for a chocked nozzle?
Mass low rate for a choked nozzle does not depend on pressure downstream once it falls below the critical pressure. This flow rate can be increased only by increasing the stagnation pressure ps upstream
