Stagnation Enthalpy in Viscous Flow Fundamentals Formulas

stagnation enthalpy h0 is the enthalpy which a gas stream of enthalpy h and velocity c would possess when brought to rest adiabatically and without work transfer. And is denoted by h_o. Stagnation Enthalpy is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram for Specific Energy. Note that the value of Stagnation Enthalpy is always negative.
