The pressure coefficient, often denoted as Cp​, is a dimensionless parameter used in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics to describe the variation in pressure at a specific point in a fluid flow, typically around an object or an airfoil, relative to the freestream pressure. Cp​ quantifies how the local pressure at a specific point in the […]

Freestream dynamic pressure is a measure of the kinetic energy per unit volume of a moving fluid. It is often expressed in terms of the freestream Mach number in the context of compressible flow. Dynamic pressure measures the pressure associated with the kinetic energy of a fluid in motion. As the fluid velocity increases, dynamic

Dynamic pressure, is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. It represents the kinetic energy per unit volume of a moving fluid. Dynamic pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by a fluid in motion, which results from its velocity. It quantifies the impact of fluid motion: Dynamic pressure measures the pressure associated

Dynamic pressure, often denoted as q∞, is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics. It represents the kinetic energy per unit volume of a moving fluid. Dynamic pressure is a measure of the pressure exerted by a fluid in motion, which results from its velocity.  Dynamic pressure (q∞) in N/m^2 Specific heat ratio (γ)

The mass flow rate of an arbitrary isentropic flow through a nozzle represents the rate at which mass is flowing through the nozzle. Mass Flow Rate is a measure of the mass of fluid passing through a specific section of a nozzle or any other conduit per unit of time. Arbitrary” implies that the specific

Specific impulse is a measure of the propulsion system’s efficiency and is expressed in units of velocity. It quantifies the change in momentum per unit mass of propellant consumed by the engine. Isp is typically measured in seconds (s) or meters per second (m/s). The higher the specific impulse, the more efficient the propulsion system

The height of a tank, denoted as “h,” represents the vertical distance between the bottom or base of the tank and its top or upper surface. In other words, it measures how tall the tank is from the lowest point to the highest point.  Height of tank (h) in m Volume of tank (V) in

The volume of a cylindrical tank, denoted as “V,” represents the total amount of space or capacity contained within the tank. It is a measure of the three-dimensional space available for storing liquids, gases, or other substances within a cylindrical-shaped container.  Volume (V) in m^3 Diameter (d) in m Height (h) in m

The volume of a storage tank, denoted as “V,” represents the total amount of space or capacity that the tank can hold. It is a measure of the three-dimensional space inside the tank available for storing liquids, gases, or other substances.  Volume (V) in m^3 Mass (M) in kg Specific gas constant (R) in J/kg*K

The difference between the initial mass and the final mass in a tank, denoted as “Mi – Mf,” represents the change in the mass of a substance within a closed container or system during a specific process or time period. This difference quantifies how much mass has been added to or removed from the tank
