Charts for the Analysis of One-Dimensional Steady Compressible Flow

Abstract

Charts are presented in terms of dimensionless parameters to facilitate the computation involved in the solution of equations of one-dimensional steady flow of a compressible fluid. These charts can be effectively used in analyses involving constant or variable specific heats in the subsonic and supersonic ranges. Examples are given in which the charts are applied to the one-dimensional analysis of ideal adiabatic steady flow in ducts of varying area and of nonisentropic frictionless steady flows. A discussion is also given of the application of the charts in the analysis of adiabatic steady flow with external forces and of flows simultaneously involving friction, changes in area, and addition of heat.
