Adiabatic process

An adiabatic process (adiabatic) is a type of thermodynamic process that occurs without transferring heat or mass between the thermodynamic system and its environment. Isentropic nozzle flow and adiabatic process are thermodynamic processes.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Adiabatic process

Compressibility

In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, the compressibility (also known as the coefficient of compressibility or, if the temperature is held constant, the isothermal compressibility) is a measure of the instantaneous relative volume change of a fluid or solid as a response to a pressure (or mean stress) change.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Compressibility

Compressible flow

Compressible flow (or gas dynamics) is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with flows having significant changes in fluid density.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Compressible flow

De Laval nozzle

A de Laval nozzle (or convergent-divergent nozzle, CD nozzle or con-di nozzle) is a tube which is pinched in the middle, making a carefully balanced, asymmetric hourglass shape.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and De Laval nozzle

Density

Density (volumetric mass density or specific mass) is a substance's mass per unit of volume.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Density

Enthalpy

Enthalpy is the sum of a thermodynamic system's internal energy and the product of its pressure and volume.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Enthalpy

Entropy

Entropy is a scientific concept that is most commonly associated with a state of disorder, randomness, or uncertainty.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Entropy

Equation of state

In physics and chemistry, an equation of state is a thermodynamic equation relating state variables, which describe the state of matter under a given set of physical conditions, such as pressure, volume, temperature, or internal energy.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Equation of state

Fanno flow

Fanno flow is the adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of friction is considered.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Fanno flow

Heat capacity ratio

In thermal physics and thermodynamics, the heat capacity ratio, also known as the adiabatic index, the ratio of specific heats, or Laplace's coefficient, is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Heat capacity ratio

Ideal gas

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas composed of many randomly moving point particles that are not subject to interparticle interactions.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Ideal gas

Isentropic process

An isentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is both adiabatic and reversible. Isentropic nozzle flow and isentropic process are thermodynamic entropy and thermodynamic processes.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Isentropic process

Jet engine

A jet engine is a type of reaction engine, discharging a fast-moving jet of heated gas (usually air) that generates thrust by jet propulsion.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Jet engine

Mach number

The Mach number (M or Ma), often only Mach, is a dimensionless quantity in fluid dynamics representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Mach number

Oblique shock

An oblique shock wave is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Oblique shock

Perfect gas

In physics and engineering, a perfect gas is a theoretical gas model that differs from real gases in specific ways that makes certain calculations easier to handle.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Perfect gas

Second law of thermodynamics

The second law of thermodynamics is a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Second law of thermodynamics

Shock wave

In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Shock wave

Sound

In physics, sound is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Sound

Speed of sound

The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Speed of sound

Stagnation point

In fluid dynamics, a stagnation point is a point in a flow field where the local velocity of the fluid is zero.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Stagnation point

Stagnation temperature

In thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, stagnation temperature is the temperature at a stagnation point in a fluid flow.

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Stagnation temperature

Supersonic gas separation

Supersonic gas separation is a technology to remove one or several gaseous components out of a mixed gas (typically raw natural gas).

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Supersonic gas separation

Supersonic speed

Supersonic speed is the speed of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1).

See Isentropic nozzle flow and Supersonic speed

University of Nevada, Reno

The University of Nevada, Reno (Nevada, the University of Nevada, or UNR) is a public land-grant research university in Reno, Nevada.
