Variables
Functions
Mach Number
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
Symbol: M
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Fluid Velocity
Fluid Velocity is the volume of fluid flowing in the given vessel per unit cross sectional area.
Symbol: uf
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
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.
Universal Gas Constant
Universal Gas Constant is a physical constant that appears in an equation defining the behavior of a gas under theoretically ideal conditions. Its unit is joule*kelvin−1*mole−1.
Symbol: R
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Final Temperature
Final Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness of a system at its final state.
Symbol: Tf
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
Syntax: sqrt(Number)
