Compressible Flow Calculator

The Compressible Flow Calculator provides a faster and more convenient alternative to printed tables and charts. The Application effectively evaluates:

-> Isentropic Flow

-> Normal shock

-> Oblique Shock

-> Fanno Flow and

-> Rayleigh Flow Relations

1. The Symbols used have their usual meanings:

-> 'Gamma' and 'rho' are substituted for the corresponding Greek letters denoting the ratio of specific heats and density.

-> Subscript 'o' is used to refer to stagnation or total conditions, superscript '*' refers to sonic conditions.

2. For each set of relations the calculator is used by selecting the variable to input, typing in its value, and then pressing the calculate button.

-> To compute the flow properties corresponding to Mach Number of 2, go to the 'Isentropic Flow relations'

-> Press on the field immediately following 'INPUT: and select 'Mach Number'.

-> Replace whatever is in the next field with 2 and press 'Calculate'.

3. Output is displayed in the space below. The scratch pad is for performing miscellaneous calculations whenever necessary.
