Fanno flow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fanno flow refers to adiabatic flow through constant area duct, where effects of friction and compressibility are important. If the length of the pipe is sufficiently long, the Mach number of the flow tends to unity and flow can get choked. It can be shown that for such flows the entropy only increases and is maximum at M = 1.
