Stagnation Velocity of Sound
Stagnation Velocity of Sound is the speed of sound in a fluid at stagnation conditions.
Symbol: ao
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Heat Ratio
The Specific Heat Ratio is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume of the flowing fluid for non-viscous and compressible flow.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Stagnation Temperature
Stagnation Temperature is defined as the temperature that would exist if the flow were slowed down isentropically to zero velocity.
Symbol: T0
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Universal gas constant
Universal gas constant is a fundamental physical constant that appears in the ideal gas law, relating the pressure, volume, and temperature of an ideal gas.
Symbol: [R]
