Exact Pressure Ratio Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Pressure Ratio
Pressure Ratio is ratio of final to initial pressure.
Symbol: rp
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Heat Ratio
The Specific heat ratio of a gas is the ratio of the specific heat of the gas at a constant pressure to its specific heat at a constant volume.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mach Number
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
