Questions
- In the definition of stagnation conditions we imagine a
fluid element moving with the flow is brought to rest adiabatically when we
define T0 and h0 but is brought to rest isentropically
when we define p0 and r0.
Similarly, In the definition of sonic conditions we imagine a fluid element
moving with the flow is brought to M = 1 adiabatically when we define T* and
h* and isentropically when we define p* and r*.
Why do we make this distinction in the two definitions and demand isentropic
deceleration / acceleration for two of the parameters but only adiabatic
deceleration / acceleration for the other two?
- How do the critical conditions (T*, p*, r*,
etc.) differ for isentropic / adiabatic flows and flows with heat addition?
