Extract

The present re-look at compressible flow graphs arose during extensive testing of jet blowing models in low speed tunnels. In these tests, it is often necessary to calculate such quantities as jet thrusts, mass flow rates and velocities assuming isentropic expansion to the tunnel static pressure from the measured values of the stagnation pressure and temperature. These jet flows are usually compressible but subsonic and, in order to make these calculations, use has to be made either of Bernoulli's compressible flow equation or, alternatively, the extensive compressible flow graphs that are now available.
