  2. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The isentropic stagnation state is the state a flowing fluid would attain if it underwent a reversible adiabatic deceleration to zero velocity. There are both actual and the isentropic stagnation states for a typical gas or vapor. Sometimes it is advantageous to make a distinction between the actual and the isentropic stagnation states.

  3. Isentropic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_analysis

    Isentropic analysis of the 300 kelvin isotrope and the weather satellite image of clouds during a blizzard in Colorado. In meteorology, isentropic analysis is a technique used to find the vertical and horizontal motion of airmasses during an adiabatic (i.e. non-heat-exchanging) process above the planetary boundary layer.

  4. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    For an isentropic flow of a perfect gas, several relations can be derived to define the pressure, density and temperature along a streamline. Note that energy can be exchanged with the flow in an isentropic transformation, as long as it doesn't happen as heat exchange. An example of such an exchange would be an isentropic expansion or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_function

    For isentropic compression, ν ( M 2 ) = ν ( M 1 ) − θ {\displaystyle \nu (M_{2})=\nu (M_{1})-\theta \,} where, θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the absolute value of the angle through which the flow turns, M {\displaystyle M} is the flow Mach number and the suffixes "1" and "2" denote the initial and final conditions respectively.

  6. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Point 3 labels the transition from isentropic to Fanno flow. Points 4 and 5 give the pre- and post-shock wave conditions, and point E is the exit from the duct. Figure 4 The H-S diagram is depicted for the conditions of Figure 3. Entropy is constant for isentropic flow, so the conditions at point 1 move down vertically to point 3.

  7. SPICE (observation geometry system) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE_(observation...

    SPICE was developed at NASA's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF), located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. [2] It has become the de facto standard for handling much of the so-called observation geometry information on NASA's planetary missions, and it is now widely used in support of science data analysis on planetary ...

  8. Isenthalpic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isenthalpic_process

    If a steady-state, steady-flow process is analysed using a control volume, everything outside the control volume is considered to be the surroundings. [2]Such a process will be isenthalpic if there is no transfer of heat to or from the surroundings, no work done on or by the surroundings, and no change in the kinetic energy of the fluid. [3]

    The Power of 10 Rules were created in 2006 by Gerard J. Holzmann of the NASA/JPL Laboratory for Reliable Software. [1] The rules are intended to eliminate certain C coding practices that make code difficult to review or statically analyze.
