Free Stream Enthalpy Formula Elements

Variables
Freestream Specific Enthalpy
Freestream specific enthalpy is the enthalpy of the continuous flow of fluid and the sum of the internal energy E plus the product of the pressure p and volume V.
Symbol: h
Measurement: Specific EnergyUnit: J/kg
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Total Specific Enthalpy
Total Specific Enthalpy defined to be the sum of the internal energy E plus the product of the pressure p and volume V.
Symbol: h0
