  2. Airfoil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airfoil

    The air deflected by an airfoil causes it to generate a lower-pressure "shadow" above and behind itself. This pressure difference is accompanied by a velocity difference, via Bernoulli's principle , so the resulting flowfield about the airfoil has a higher average velocity on the upper surface than on the lower surface.

  3. Phase rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_rule

    In thermodynamics, the phase rule is a general principle governing multi-component, multi-phase systems in thermodynamic equilibrium.For a system without chemical reactions, it relates the number of freely varying intensive properties (F) to the number of components (C), the number of phases (P), and number of ways of performing work on the system (N): [1] [2] [3]: 123–125

  4. Gay-Lussac's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay-Lussac's_law

    For air, he found a relative expansion ΔV/V = 37.50% and obtained a value of α = 37.50%/100 °C = 1/266.66 °C which indicated that the value of absolute zero was approximately 266.66 °C below 0 °C. [12] The value of the rate of expansion α is approximately the same for all gases and this is also sometimes referred to as Gay-Lussac's Law.

  5. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Using ideal gas equation of state for constant temperature process (i.e., / is constant) and the conservation of mass flow rate (i.e., ˙ = is constant), the relation Qp = Q 1 p 1 = Q 2 p 2 can be obtained. Over a short section of the pipe, the gas flowing through the pipe can be assumed to be incompressible so that Poiseuille law can be used ...

  6. Paschen's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschen's_law

    With a constant pressure, the voltage needed to cause an arc reduced as the gap size was reduced but only to a point. As the gap was reduced further, the voltage required to cause an arc began to rise and again exceeded its original value. For a given gas, the voltage is a function only of the product of the pressure and gap length.

  7. Isobaric process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isobaric_process

    For a thermally perfect diatomic gas, the molar specific heat capacity at constant pressure (c p) is 7 / 2 R or 29.1006 J mol −1 deg −1. The molar heat capacity at constant volume (c v) is 5 / 2 R or 20.7862 J mol −1 deg −1. The ratio of the two heat capacities is 1.4. [4] The heat Q required to bring the gas from 300 to 600 K is

  9. Boyle's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyle's_law

    where P is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, and k is a constant for a particular temperature and amount of gas. Boyle's law states that when the temperature of a given mass of confined gas is constant, the product of its pressure and volume is also constant. When comparing the same substance under two different sets of ...
