David Scarborough, a senior research engineer, teaches the jet and rocket propulsion class, full of terms like isentropic flow and stagnation states as well as adiabatic efficiency for the diffuser. |
In the same way the critical point of the isentropic curves comes nearer to that of the isothermals. |
Other inputs included the degree of superheat and subcooling, isentropic efficiency of the compressor etc. |
The flow of air at the isentropic surface is represented by streamlines, computed from the field of pressure and temperature. |
But in this case all isentropic curves, if sufficiently prolonged, will enter the heterogeneous region. |
The first and third legs are nearly isothermal, while the second and fourth legs are nearly isentropic. |
