Adiabatic Flow in Pipes: An Outline of Present Knowledge of the Flow of Perfect Gases in Ducts of Constant Cross‐Section

Abstract

THE graphical methods of one‐dimensional gas dynamics are reviewed and developed to obtain a complete representation of adiabatic flow of perfect gases in ducts of constant cross‐section. The dimensionless charts, from which the variation of the state of the gas along the duct axis can be determined, are analysed and the methods of their construction given. The form of the charts depends only on the value of the ratio of specific heats.
