Compressible Flow Modeling in a Constant Area Duct

Neil Hicks, P.E.

Predicting static pressure in a compressible flow system with a constant area duct is a useful tool in modeling or designing gas flowing pneumatic systems. Gas pneumatic systems are used extensively in industrial, aviation, and aerospace systems. Gases, specifically inert gases, can be used to inert cryogenic or hypergolic fuel and oxidizer systems, pressurize liquid storage tanks, provide gas seals for hydraulic machinery, or in future automobiles to power turbine driven gear boxes. The uses are endless, but designing or modeling requires understanding and optimizing the system using engineering science. This course will review adiabatic flow with friction (Fanno Flow) in a constant-area duct, and derive an algorithm to predict static pressure.

The course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
